Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans she has to introduce legislative proposals on laser pen attacks.

The police are able to use their core powers under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, such as the power of arrest, to deal with offences involving articles which are used, or intended to be used, to cause injury to persons. This would include laser pointers if they were used, or intended to be used, in such a way

The Home Office does not currently have plans to introduce further legislation.
