Labour: Access to dangerous substances must be reviewed

Labour's Darren Jones said the government needs to clamp down on the access to dangerous substances following a London alkali attack.

Abdul Ezedi, 35 and from the Newcastle area, is still on the run after allegedly throwing a corrosive substance at multiple people in South London, leaving a girl and her mother with potentially life-changing injuries.

"We have protections in place for other goods that you can buy that might have a legitimate use case but may also cause harm to others and I think off the back of this, it's right that the government considers that an issue and tells us what they might want to do about it," Mr Jones added.
