"An initiative to crack down on the illegal sale of knives to under-18s is being launched. Underage teenagers will be sent into shops to try to buy knives, under the supervision of police and Trading Standards officers. It is part of new measures announced by Home Office Minister Vernon Coaker to "get tough" on the problem."
