Firearms (Amendment) Bill - Prohibition of small-calibre pistols 1997-06-16

Considered in Committee.

I beg to move amendment No. 7, in page 1, line 8, leave out

'the words "a small calibre-pistol" shall cease to have effect.'

That quotation appears in the Library's brief, "Prohibiting Handguns: the Firearms (Amendment) Bill", dated 9 June 1997, which I recommend to those participating in the debate. It is a fair, broad and detailed summary of past and present legislation in that area.

Question put , That the amendment be made:--

The Committee divided: Ayes 123, Noes 333. .

We have into on 460 votes. We had 33 errors in getting pin data.

Yellow pin - Aye. Red pin - no.
