§ 46. Mr. Ripponasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the recent warning by the Chief Constable of Northumbria about the theft of firearms, he will give the public an opportunity to hand in firearms they have no use for, or are not entitled to hold.
§ Dr. SummerskillThere is no bar to a person lawfully disposing of a firearm for which he no longer has a use. We see no need at present for another amnesty for those who possess firearms illegally. The last amnesty was in 1968.
