HC Deb 19 December 1952 vol 509 c1793

"The National Chamber of Trade in response to representations made over a wide field urges shopkeepers throughout the country to withhold from the offer of sale toy facsimilies of lethal weapons. It fully supports the growing feelings of unrest and apprehension caused by the tendencies developed in the minds and actions of young persons in whose hands such goods find their way, and believes it to be in the interests of the community generally that the manufacture of such goods should be voluntarily discontinued."
