	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2024 answer text <p>Assaults by razor should be counted in knife/blade, as the definition is “an object with a sharp edge that is designed to puncture, chop, slice or scrape surfaces, skin, material”. However, as there is no formal reference to razors, we expect that some may also be in the ‘other sharp instrument’ category, defined as “objects or instruments which are able to cut, prick, cause injury and / or infection e.g.,needle, broken glass” and the ‘other’ category.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 06/03/2024 15:54:55 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
