HC Deb 19 July 2002 vol 389 c639

Order for Second Reading read.

Hon. Members

Object.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

second Reading what day? No day named.

Mr. David Wilshire (Spelthorne)

On a point of order Mr. Deputy Speaker. Would you not agree, and is there any way of making it absolutely clear, that the Government have objected to this Bill, which would attempt to make it much more difficult for irresponsible teenagers to fire air guns at animals and at people, thereby causing injury? Is it not a disgrace that the Government are against that sort of sensible measure to protect the public?

Mr. Deputy speaker

as think the hon. Gentleman appreciates, those are not matters on which the Chair can comment.
