HC Deb 04 May 1983 vol 42 c66W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many letters he has received on the subject of the use of firearms in connection with armed crime.

Mr. Mayhew

Establishing the total number of letters received during a given period in which this subject has been mentioned would be very difficult because it is likely to have been raised in connection with other firearms matters. The number of letters relating solely to this subject which have been received within the last six months is fewer than 15.
