00:00The reason we're meeting now, eight, going on nine weeks after the election is because
00:20before the election I made commitments to people around this table and others in relation
00:28to our determination to deal with knife crime.
00:31You know, talk is good, but action is more important.
00:35One of the things that the Prime Minister and I spoke about during this run up to here
00:41was how do we make the action points, what does that look like?
00:46And it felt that we needed the coalition, we needed joined up thinking, we needed so
00:52many different perspectives, parents' perspectives, youth workers' perspectives,
00:59charity organisations, governance, policing.
01:02We need all of these perspectives to sit around the table and think about this.
01:07We aren't going to end knife crime.
01:10We can't.
01:11That's not realistic, but we can tackle the attributes towards it.
