§ Mr. Farrasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what account he has taken of the fact that the Green Paper on the Control of Firearms in Great Britain is in short supply in many parts of the country, in requesting that observations on its contents should be sent to him by the end of June.
§ Mr. CarlisleI have made inquiries about the availability of the Green Paper, and I am assured by Her Majesty's Stationery Office that adequate stocks are available for sale at all Government bookshops. Although there are delays at the London mail-order department of Her Majesty's Stationery Office caused by an industrial dispute earlier this year, special steps have been taken to give priority to mail orders for the Green Paper.
