HC Deb 31 March 2003 vol 402 c579W
Mr. Tom Harris

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to limit the number of shotguns owned by a person under a single licence. [105068]

Mr. Bob Ainsworth

We have no plans at present to introduce a limit. There is a requirement under current legislation to notify transactions thereby ensuring that the police are kept informed of the acquisition of any shotguns after a certificate has been granted.

Mr. Tom Harris

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to relax the existing controls on the ownership of handguns for sporting purposes. [105069]

Mr. Bob Ainsworth

None.
