Kerry McCarthy – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Kerry McCarthy on 2016-09-02.

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.

Mr Robert Goodwill

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.
