§ Lady Gammansasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what further provisions he will make to render the purchase of firearms more difficult.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerI have no proposals for amending the existing law, under which a person under the age of 17 may not purchase a firearm of any kind, and a person over 17 may not purchase a firearm, other than a shotgun or air weapon, unless he holds a firearm certificate issued by the police.
