question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to ban the sale of machetes and large knives with serrated or other edges that do not already come under the existing classification of zombie knives.
tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL1214
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2020 answer text <p>Keeping people safe is the Government’s top priority, including from violent crime involving the misuse of knives and other offensive weapons. This is why the law makes it an offence to carry a knife in public without good reason, makes it an offence to sell to under 18s and why a number of knives and offensive weapons, including zombie knives, are banned.</p><p>The Government does not currently have plans to ban any additional, specific types of knives, but we do keep the law under review and the Government will not hesitate to take action if needed. This is why we have strengthened the law on knives and other offensive weapons, through the Offensive Weapons Act 2019. The Act will make it an offence to possess certain offensive weapons in private, it will stop knives being sent to residential addresses after they are bought online, unless the seller has arrangements in place with the delivery company to ensure that the product will not be delivered to an under 18. The Act will also:</p><ul><li>change the legal definition for threatening with an offensive weapon to make prosecutions more straightforward;</li></ul><ul><li>ban the possession of knives on a further education premises;</li><li>update the definition of a flick knife to reflect changing weapon designs;</li></ul><p>and</p><ul><li>introduce Knife Crime Prevention Orders to help the police target those most at risk of being drawn into serious violence.</li></ul><p>The Government also works with retailers to encourage responsible sales of knives. We have agreed a set of commitments with eighteen major high-street and online retailers to prevent the sale of knives to under-18s, which cover staff training, displays, and packaging. We are continuing to work with retailers to stop knives getting into the hands of young people.</p><p>We have also committed to introducing a new court order to target known knife carriers and make it easier for the police to stop and search those convicted of knife crime offences, to deter them from continuing to carry knives, and to make it more likely that those who persist in doing so will be caught, brought before the courts, and sent to prison.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 13/02/2020 14:12:45 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many detached duty staff worked in each prison in each month of 2015.
tabling member printed	Lord Falconer of Thoroton
uin	HL1214
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2015 answer text <p>The deployment of staff between prisons on detached duty is a regular and normal part of prison resourcing. It allows staff to be allocated from prisons with the capacity to provide them, to those where additional staffing is required. A large proportion of the capacity is typically available from prisons that are in the process of closure or going through a re-role.</p><p> </p><p>The average weekly provision of staff that were received and contributed as part of the nationally co-ordinated detached duty scheme across public sector prisons are shown in the tables below. The information covers the period January to March 2015, which coincides with the latest published prison staffing data.</p><p> </p><p>On average over the three month period (January to March 2013), less than 1% of staff were provided on detached duty.</p><p> </p><p>The absolute amount of detached duty staffing contribution received by each establishment can be found in table 1 below. The establishment that received the highest proportion of staffing on detached duty in January and February 2015 was Elmley, where 2% and 7% of officer staffing in the prison was provided by detached duty in each month respectively. In March the highest proportion of officer staffing contributed by detached duty was at Aylesbury with 12% of the total.</p><p> </p><p>All figures are rounded to the nearest 10, with numbers ending in 5 rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias. Rounding to 10 accurately depicts the level of certainty that is held with these figures. Values of 5 or fewer are denoted as ‘~’</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table 1.
