HC Deb 17 February 1966 vol 724 cc289-90W
77. Dame Joan Vickers

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will stop the importation of the Sekiden Automatic S.A.P.50 pistol, made in Japan and sold in this country in toy shops, a sample of which has been sent to him, as they fall within the category of toys likely to cause physical harm to children.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I have no power to prohibit the importation of this toy. I am prepared to seek the withdrawal from sale of any toy which presents a serious hazard of any kind, but I am not at present convinced that such action would be justified in this case.
