HC Deb 12 July 1985 vol 82 c558W
Mr. Dickens

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to ban the sale of crossbows; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Giles Shaw

My right hon. and learned Friend has no plans to do so. Crossbows and other weapons not subject to specific controls are already covered, so far as misuse of them is concerned, by existing provisions of the law.
