"Cherie Booth told MPs today that knife and gun crime among young people was more common than the official statistics suggest. The wife of former prime minister Tony Blair said that the statistics were particularly poor at reflecting the extent to which under-16s carry weapons. Her comments, as the chair of an inquiry into young people and weapons, follow a series of high-profile teenage deaths at the hands of other youngsters."
