PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Smuggling: Stun Guns (2 September 2016)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many disguised stun weapons have been seized at the UK border in each year since 2011-12.

Asked by:
Kerry McCarthy (Labour)

Answer

The information is not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

We are able to identify seizures of stun weapons from our last data sets, but can not easily identify those which have been disguised. In order to obtain this information, we would have to examine individual records to establish which stun guns were disguised.
