HC Deb 22 February 1973 vol 851 c139W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will seek powers to ban spear guns with telescopic sights, in view of their potential danger to skin divers.

Mr. Carlisle

We have little evidence of danger being caused by harpoons or spear guns, but I am obtaining information about certain spear guns of the kind mentioned by the hon. and learned Member, and I shall write to him.
