Proceeding contribution from Lord West of Spithead (Labour) 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

The noble Baroness is right: I failed to answer that question. The definition of ““third parties”” is the same as that used in the context of realistic imitation firearms. We are therefore following the precedent of what is a working defence. I do not know whether that answer is enough or the noble Baroness feels that we need to get in touch with the people to whom she referred.
