I refer the minister to his media

bodies consulted, and will the minister table a list of those organisations

on what date is its conclusion envisaged?
(3) Can the
minister confirm that it is his intention to bring forward a bill for a new and
updated Firearms Act within the lifetime of this Parliament?

provided by the Minister for Police.
