Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Helen Whately and Shabana Mahmood

Tuesday 10th September 2024 Commons Chamber

[Helen Whately (Faversham and Mid Kent) (Con)]

Catapults are not classed as offensive weapons, but they are being used increasingly in my constituency to injure and kill livestock and pets. Will the Minister responsible for such matters agree to meet me to discuss how we can deter these people and stop their use of catapults to kill?

[Shabana Mahmood]

I suspect that that may be a matter for my colleagues in the Home Office, but I will happily liaise with the relevant Minister and ensure that the hon. Lady receives a response.
