HC Deb 27 April 1893 vol 11 c1307
SIR J. PEASE (Durham, Barnard Castle)

I beg to ask the Home Secretary, with regard to the recent outrage in a bank at Durham, where a clerk was wounded by a revolver, whether it is intended to take any steps for registering the sale of revolvers?

MR. ASQUITH

This is a subject which has engaged my careful consideration, and with the aid of the Under Secretary I have drawn up at least the heads of a measure which I hope will satisfactorily deal with the matter. I do not know when I shall be able to introduce it.
