HC Deb 02 November 1988 vol 139 c1060

Lords amendment: No. 4, in page 4, line 24, leave out a self-loading, pump-action or revolver smooth-bore gun and insert any smooth-bore gun to which section 1 of the principal Act applies other than one which has a barrel with a bore exceeding 2 inches in diameter".

Mr. Douglas Hogg

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.

This is a technical amendment of wonderful complexity. The House will recall that we amended the definition of "shotgun" to that which now appears in clause 2(2). We ought at the same time to have amended clause 6(1). We did not do so. The purpose of the amendment is to correct that defect.

Question put and agreed to.
