HC Deb 20 March 1972 vol 833 c277W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to amend the Gun Barrel Proof Act, 1868, to include the requirement that all cartridges sold in the United Kingdom should have marked on them minimum length and minimum service pressure of guns suitable for use with the cartridges in question.

Mr. Sharples

My right hon. Friend is not satisfied, on the information so far available to him, that such legislation is necessary.
