This is regarded as a bit of a myth. Search for swords in this official PDF https://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons-information-offi....

MPs have never been able to carry weapons in to the chamber so if it was a rule it's a bit silly (which doesn't mean it's not true given how silly the rest of the UK democracy is).

They do still, to this day, have a loop on the cloakroom for hanging their swords on though so it's not totally out of character.
