Violent Crime Reduction Bill

moved Amendment No. 124:"Page 31, line 25, leave out ““17”” and insert ““18””" The noble Lord said: I need not detain the House too long. This is a technical amendment that ensures that an entry in the table of punishments in the Firearms Act 1968 reflects the correct age limit for possessing an air weapon. Subsection (5) amends the entry relating to offences under Section 23(1) of the 1968 Act, which applies to persons supervising young people who shoot air weapons beyond the boundary of premises. The entry as drafted refers to the current age limit of 17, but Clause 28 will increase that to 18. This amendment corrects the reference to show the new age limit. I beg to move. On Question, amendment agreed to. Clause 29, as amended, agreed to. Clause 30 [Restriction on sale and purchase of primers]:
