§ Order for Second Reading read.
2.29 pm§ Mr. Tony Banks (Newham, North-West)I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time.
I should like to make a great moving speech for the next 45 seconds in favour of my bill on the sale of war toys. I hope that I shall be able to persuade hon. Members to support the Bill. If hon. Members are interested in trying to curtail the violence in our society, we should look at the earliest point at which violence is introduced to a child, and that is through the games that the child plays and the toys that it uses. It would be in the interests of a more peaceful society if we removed war toys from sale and banned the manufacture in this country of toys based on post-1914 weapons of violence.
§ It being half-past Two o'clock, MR. DEPUTY SPEAKER interrupted the business.
§ Bill to be read a Second time on Friday 8 July.
