HC Deb 19 July 1916 vol 84 c1026W
Major NEWMAN

asked the Home Secretary whether he can give the districts in the United Kingdom in which the carrying and use of firearms without special licence has been forbidden under a recent Order?

Mr. FORSTER

It is presumed that the reference is to Defence of the Realm Regulation No. 37 A, under which it is made an offence to carry firearms without a permit from the' competent naval or military authority within any area specified in an Order made by such authority. No report has reached this office of any Order having yet been made under this Regulation.
