Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to ban ninja swords, zombie knives and machetes.

The Government has a manifesto commitment to ban ninja swords and other weapons and we will be taking this forward as soon as possible, ensuring that lethal blades which have been used to kill teenagers on our streets are no longer available to buy or sell.

We will also be implementing the ban on zombie-style knives and zombie-style machetes approved by Parliament in April.
