HC Deb 27 January 1977 vol 924 cc712-3W
Mr. Rippon

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is prepared to encourage people to hand in firearms for which they no longer have any use.

Dr. Summerskill

It is certainly desirable that people should hand in, or sell to an authorised firearms dealer, any firearms for which they no longer have a use; but we have no special measures in mind to encourage them to do so.
