HL Deb 12 October 1982 vol 434 cc809-10WA
Lord Melchett

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What view the British Veterinary Association has expressed to them about the desirability of extending firearms control to cover air guns.

Lord Elton

The British Veterinary Association wrote to my right honourable friend on 6th July to express its continuing concern about the injuries caused to animals by air guns. The association recommended that the control on firearms be extended to include air guns.
