§ Joyce QuinTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on his policy on the acquisition and possession of air weapons. [75309]
§ Mr. Bob AinsworthThe Government are very well aware of, and take very seriously, the damage which can result from the misuse of air weapons. We are looking at a number of options for dealing with the problem of air weapon misuse including a change in the age limits at which air weapons may be acquired and possessed. We will bring forward proposals shortly on measures to tackle this problem.
