HC Deb 02 August 1976 vol 916 cc537-8W
Mr. Shersby

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consider as a matter of urgency the introduction of stricter controls over the purchase and possession of air guns in the interests of reducing the incidence of armed crime; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Summerskill

The purchase and possession of air guns by young people are among the matters on which we hope to introduce amending legislation in the next Session.
