HC Deb 16 February 1984 vol 54 cc293-4W
Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department to what extent other police authorities are being urged by him to follow the example of Dyfed-Powys constabulary in recently holding an air weapons teach-in for young persons.

Mr. Hurd

The Department has made it clear to chief officers of police that we welcome all initiatives which will promote the safe use of air weapons and make people, particularly youngsters, more aware of the dangers of misuse.
