The noble Baroness, Lady Doocey, also raised the valid question of what happens about knives imported from outside the United Kingdom. Products from overseas sellers will be subject to the same age checks on delivery if they are marked as containing a knife, as part of the verification checks that are in the legislation. I refer her to page 43 of the Bill. There she will see in new Section 42A, “Delivery of bladed articles sold by non-UK seller to premises: England and Wales”, a number of issues which will cover, I hope to her satisfaction, the issue of imported knives. If she can look at those at her leisure, there will be opportunities to test them again on Report if she feels unhappy about them.
