HC Deb 14 March 1892 vol 2 c762
ADMIRAL MAYNE

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take some steps to prevent the numerous deaths which now take place from the use by children of so-called "toy" pistols?

MR. MATTHEWS

The question of my hon. and gallant Friend points to legislation; and while I am prepared to consider any reasonable proposals for the object in view, I cannot pledge myself to introduce any definite measure to prevent children from making use of dangerous toys.
