HC Deb 20 November 1952 vol 507 c194W
Mr. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will devise some means of prohibiting stilettos and other dangerous weapons being sold to young men or boys.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

I recognise that there is public concern in this matter, but there are considerable difficulties in the way of dealing with the problem by legislation, including the difficulty of definition. I have this matter, together with related problems, under review; and if my hon. Friend has any specific proposals, I shall be happy to consider them.
