The majority of MPs voted against stronger regulation of possessing, making or trading, certain types of high velocity rifles.
MPs were considering the Offensive Weapons Bill[1]
The motion supported by the majority of MPs in this vote was:
- That amendments 26 to 55 be made
This was a single motion on amendments which had been moved by a minister.
An explanatory statement accompanying amendment 26[2] covered all the amendments, it stated:
- Clause 30 currently applies the prohibitions in section 5 of the Firearms Act 1968 to certain kinds of high velocity rifle. Clause 31 makes equivalent provision in relation to Article 45 of the Firearms (Northern Ireland) Order 2004. This amendment and Amendments 27 to 55 remove rifles of that kind from the application of section 5 and Article 45 and make consequential changes to the Bill.
