Andrea asks the Home Secretary to Meet and Discuss Knife Crime in Our Area

In Home Office Questions, I asked the Home Secretary, Priti Patel MP, to meet and discuss a tragic case of knife crime in our local area. It is vital that we crack down on violent crime. 

I am pleased that the Home Secretary, Priti Patel, has agreed to meet me and the family involved. I look forward to discussing this important matter with her. Nobody should have to go through what my constituent, and their family, suffered.
