§ 103. Mr. G. Jegerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware of the concern at the amount of damage to persons and to property caused by children armed with airguns and similar weapons; and whether he will look into the present state of the law governing the ownership and use of such guns with a view to stricter control and restriction over them.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerI am aware that there is some concern, and I am seeking to obtain up-to-date information about the number of accidents which result from the use of air-weapons. The evidence at present available does not suggest, however, that stricter control is needed.
