1995—No. 290

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Regulation substitutes an existing provision of the Prohibited Weapons Regulation 1990 that provided an amnesty for the surrender of prohibited firearms for 1 year up to 30 June 1995. The new provision provides for a further amnesty until 30 June 1996 but is different to the existing provision in that it only permits the surrender of

prohibited firearms to the Police (whereas the existing provision also permitted transfer

of a firearm to any person who held an appropriate permit for the firearm).

This Regulation is made under section 5 (1) of the Prohibited Weapons Act 1989.
