Violent Crime Reduction Bill

moved Amendment No. 150A:"Page 53, line 22, after ““which”” insert ““section 141 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (c. 33) or””" The noble Lord said: Schedule 1 makes corresponding provision for Northern Ireland in respect of the clauses in Part 2 concerning weapons, which provide for England and Wales. These consequential amendments reflect the provisions in Part 2 and its amendments in the schedule relating to Northern Ireland. It is essential that the law on weapons is consistent across both jurisdictions, and the amendments in respect of pre-Schedule 1 and Schedule 1 will achieve that effect. I beg to move. On Question, amendment agreed to.
