HC Deb 04 July 1957 vol 572 c132W
61. Mr. Janner

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in view of the wide sales of underwater harpoon guns to children and young persons and the doubt that exists as to the circumstances in which a gun licence is required, if he will introduce legislation to make it clear that a licence is required in all cases.

Mr. Powell

The interpretation of the Gun Licences Act is a matter for the courts. I am not aware of any need for legislation to clarify it.
