312

Clause  77,  page  96,  line  35,  leave out subsection (4).

Member’s explanatory statement

This amendment omits the order making power to create exceptions and exemptions to the

prohibition on the importation of offensive weapons, and the power to create defences to certain

importation offences.

Mr Vernon Coaker

313

Clause  77,  page  97,  leave out lines 7 to 35 and insert—

‘141ZC

Prohibition on importation of offensive weapons: exceptions

(1)	The importation of a weapon is not prohibited by section 141ZB if one of

the following exceptions applies.

(2)	Exception 1 is that the weapon is imported for the purposes only of

functions carried out on behalf of—

(a)	the Crown, or

(b)	a visiting force.

(3)	Exception 2 is that the weapon is imported for the purposes only of

making it available to a museum or gallery which does not distribute

profits.

(4)	Exception 3 is that the weapon is imported for the purposes only of

making it available for one or more of the following—

(a)	theatrical performances;

(b)	rehearsals of theatrical performances;

(c)	the production of films;

(d)	the production of television programmes.

(5)	In subsection (4)—

“films” has the meaning given by section 5B of the Copyright, Designs and

Patents Act 1988;

“television programmes” has the meaning given by section 405 of the

Communications Act 2003.

(6)	The Secretary of State may by order provide for further exceptions from

the prohibition on importation of weapons under section 141ZB.

(7)	Orders under this section are to be made by statutory instrument.

(8)	A statutory instrument containing an order under this section may not be

made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before and approved

by a resolution of each House of Parliament.’.

Member’s explanatory statement

This amendment sets out exceptions to the importation prohibition, rather than defences to

offences under section 50(2) and (3) of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979. This means

the exceptions can be relied on in any criminal proceedings and in forfeiture proceedings under

the 1979 Act.
