GUN AND KNIFE CRIME AND SERIOUS FEATHER'S THINK TWICE VIDEO

Early day motion 1625, tabled 9 June 2009 by Tony Lloyd (Labour). Signed by 38 members.

That this House recognises that young people are most likely to be the victims of gun and knife attacks; believes that whilst everyone must be part of the solution, young people are key to changing attitudes and saving lives; welcomes the release of Marvin `Crown Jewelz' Gilbert's video Think Twice which is designed to bring attention to the dangers of gun and knife attacks; applauds the work of the Manchester-based production company Serious Feather which commissioned and released the video without charge; notes the work of young people in education at Trafford College and Salford and Bolton universities which made all this possible; commends the efforts of Brett Gregory, Ann-Marie Lawrence, Nic Jackson and Alistair Topping; and hopes that the video will be widely viewed and promoted by the media.
