Subordinate Legislation
Offensive Weapons Act 2019 (Prescribed Documents) (Scotland) (No 2) Order 2022 (SSI 2022/210)
Agenda item 2 is consideration of a negative Scottish statutory instrument. I refer members to paper 1.
The SSI adds
“A United Kingdom photocard driving licence”
as a valid form of identification for the purposes of a defence to two new criminal offences under the Offensive Weapons Act 2019 operating in Scotland. The two offences are, first, an offence under section 39 relating to a delivery company delivering bladed products, sold by a UK-based seller, to a person aged under 18 at residential premises; and, secondly, an offence under section 42 relating to a delivery company that has entered into an arrangement with a seller that is based outside the UK to deliver a bladed article to a person under 18.
As there are no questions, are members content not to make any recommendation to the Parliament on the instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
