§ 71. Mr. Lubbockasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to increase the control of shotguns, including provisions making each certificate valid only for a single weapon, providing for a check on the individual weapon and on the quantity of ammunition held, and for recording transfers of weapons between one owner and another.
§ Mr. Elystan MorganIt would be advisable for us to obtain experience of the operation of the current restrictions, which were introduced less than a year ago, before we consider new measures.
§ 72. Mr. Lubbockasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many offences involving the use or threatened use of shotguns were recorded in 1968.
§ Mr. Elystan MorganThis information will not be available until later this month, when I will write to the hon. Member.
