Crossbows: Sales
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans the Government has to review controls on the online sale of crossbows.
- Answer
-
We keep the legislation on age restricted items, including crossbows, under review to ensure it remains relevant and robust. It is an offence to sell a crossbow to a person under 18 years of age, and that includes online sales. If an online retailer has made an underage sale they should be reported to the police or trading standards so that inquiries can be made.
