HC Deb 26 February 1901 vol 89 c1196
MR. JOHN GORDON (Londonderry, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, with the view of preventing accidents and increasing the revenue, the Government will introduce legislation to compel the purchasers of pistols and revolvers to exhibit their gun licences before buying firearms from dealers.

* MR. RITCHIE

I cannot make any promise as to legislation on this subject.
