Home Office underestimated how many zombie knives and machetes would be surrendered, documents show.

MP says there were "huge flaws" in the government's original impact assessment for the scheme.

The Home Office said the scheme had taken dangerous weapons "off our streets".

A Home Office spokesperson said: "All claims for compensation submitted under the 'zombie-style' knives and machetes surrender scheme have undergone stringent review.

Sporting Wholesale declined to comment. The Chinese supplier was contacted but did not respond..
