Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 22 May 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Violent Crime Reduction Bill.

Violent Crime Reduction Bill

I certainly agree with that. But my reference was in response to the point made by the noble Earl, Lord Shrewsbury. He thought that the legitimate gun-owning community in this country felt picked on because of the way in which government legislation is put forward. But that is not the case. We recognise that legitimate holders of firearms and the certificates that go with most of them act entirely responsibly most of the time. But there is an element of migration. I am sure that the noble Earl will accept that that is the case in some circumstances.
