HC Deb 02 August 1956 vol 557 c173W
21. Mrs. Braddock

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention has been drawn to the increasing number of accidents to eyesight arising from the use by children of air guns and air pistols; and if he will now state what steps are to be taken to prevent the sale of these dangerous weapons to juveniles, as a result of his further inquiries.

Mr. Deedes

My right hon. and gallant Friend has no evidence to suggest that the number of accidents caused by air-weapons is increasing, or that further legislation is necessary.
