Crime and Policing BillContribution
My Amendment 213 follows the inappropriate seizure on occasions by the police of sickles from garden sheds as being curved-blade swords, which I suggest was never the intention of the law. I believe that this item requires an exemption from the traditional tools grouping because it is used in agricultural work, conservation and, of course, gardening.
