Policing minister outlines 'Ronan's' knife law

The policing minister has unveiled a new bill hoping to crack down on the sale of knives, particularly online.

Dame Diana Johnson announced raft of anti-knife crime plans, including making retailers report bulk or suspicious sales to police, and increasing the jail sentence for selling weapons to children or illegal blades such as zombie knives, to two years.

The laws will collectively be known as 'Ronan's Law', named after 16-year-old Ronan Kanda who was murdered in Wolverhampton in 2022.
