HC Deb 24 June 1992 vol 210 c252W
23. Mrs. Fyfe

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has any proposals to change the law on the carrying of offensive weapons.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

There are already heavy penalties available in law for carrying and using offensive weapons. We are committed to changing the law to make it even more difficult to carry knives and will be bringing forward proposals in due course.
