HC Deb 09 December 1991 vol 200 c274W
Mr. William Ross

To ask the Attorney-General how many prosecutions are a waiting trial at Crown courts involving the use or possession of paintball guns.

The Attorney-General

The use and possession of paintball guns are not covered by any specific legislation, but may contravene a number of enactments depending on the characteristics of the item and the circumstances and purpose of the possession. The CPS does not maintain records which in respect of any category of offence enables those involving paintball guns to be identified from those which do not.
