Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 18 March 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) (Amendment) Order 2008.
Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) (Amendment) Order 2008
I agree with everything that has been said by noble Lords, but I am curious about the curved blade. I am slightly anxious that it would be possible to import a batch of swords with straight blades, which would fall outside the provisions, and then, by a simple and well understood engineering process—putting them through a roller—cause the blades to bend. I do not understand why all long blades are not banned. I can foresee people importing straight blades and making them curved.
