§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received seeking tighter controls over the sale of ammunition for shotguns; and what response he has given.
§ Mr. HurdIt has been suggested that a person should be able to buy such ammunition only on production of his shotgun certificate. We have replied that this would require legislation amending the Firearms Act 1968, that we do not intend this at present, but that we would carefully consider the suggestion in any future review of the controls.
