§ Mrs. Maureen HicksTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he will bring into effect the provisions of section 20 of the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerI signed a commencement order on 19 December which will bring into force on 2 April 1991 section 20 of the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988, insofar as it is not already in force. Section 20 is already in force for the purpose of making an order thereunder and accordingly on 19 December I also signed a Firearms (Removal to Northern Ireland) Order to come into effect on 2 April 1991.
