Violent Crime Reduction Bill

I am grateful for my hon. Friend’s comments and pay tribute to his work on this subject. However, I do not accept the phrase ““virtually no effect””. Even if nothing is done on internet sales, the measures that we propose will have a substantial effect. I accept the thrust of his remarks, though, and we need to look carefully at how we can regulate sales and carry the policy through. As I said, we are doing just that.
