HC Deb 11 June 1973 vol 857 cc251-2W
Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will extend by a further two months the date by which representations have to be made to him on "The Control of Firearms in Great Britain" in order to give more time for such representations to be proposed and presented by the individual persons and associations affected.

Mr. R. Carr

For the reasons given in the reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Smethwick (Mr. Faulds) on 25th May, I am not prepared to extend the date, but this is not to say that I shall decline to take account of representations which reach me during the following few weeks.—[Vol. 857, c.195.]

Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he consulted the Deputy Director and Trustees of the Imperial War Museum before publishing the Green Paper on Firearms Control.

Mr. Carlisle

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to his Question on 25th May about consultation with those interested in historic arms.—[Vol. 857, c.195.]
