The parents of one of the survivors of the Southport attack said knife crime will only be cut if young people are “raised better” and are taught about healthy relationships.

Their daughter, referred to as child A, survived despite being stabbed more than 30 times in the attack in July last year, their Labour MP Paul Foster (South Ribble) told a Commons debate on knife crime on Thursday.
