Proceeding contribution from Baroness Barran (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 March 2019. It occurred during Debate on bill on Offensive Weapons Bill.


Offensive Weapons Bill

If I have followed the noble Baroness’s question correctly, there are two elements to this. First, there is an element of discretion around the need for the individual who is surrendering weapons to show documentary evidence that they are the legal owner, and that the weapons have been lawfully acquired. Secondly, there is a range of valuations that could be provided, including from an auction house or for insurance. My understanding is that there is an element of discretion in judging the validity of those.
