BASC/ACPO AIRGUN SAFETY CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 60, tabled 13 November 2002 by James Gray (Conservative). Signed by 47 members.

That this House applauds the recent initiative by the British Association for Shooting and Conservation in commencing a project to provide safe conditions for the training of young people using air guns; champions the Airgun Code of Practice that has recently been implemented with the aid of the Association of Chief Police Officers; realises that the success of this initiative depends on communication between the police force, schools, community leaders, and those in education to prevent misuse; and recognises that a secure and well monitored environment is crucial in teaching young people how to use airguns safely.
