Important Notice Regarding Article 15 of the Offensive Weapons Bill (HC Bill 232)
This is your chance to save UK businesses
Despite our best efforts in presenting various solutions to both the Home Office and Metropolitan Police, the government are proceeding with their proposal to reduce the availability of blades due to poorly thought out theories of bladed items being used as weapons, thus only realistically putting people's livelihoods at risk.
A draft of a new law will make it impossible for tradesmen to have bladed tools delivered to their homes, hobbyists to acquire specialist tools that over-the-counter retailers could not justify stocking and therefore contravening the human rights act of house bound and infirm people, unable to travel to stores to purchase these items.
We are appealing for you to sign the petition using the link below, and if you wish, to write to your MP to ask that they support the removal of section 15 of this proposed bill.

After numerous representations to the Home Office and Metropolitan Police offering multiple solutions that will reduce availability of blades to those who wish to use them as weapons the Government have persisted with a misinformed proposal which is at best misguided and at worst dangerous.
