Fraser of Carmyllie
Minister of State, Scottish Office
St Andrew's House,
Edinburgh
12th December 1994
(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules amend the form of firearm certificate prescribed by the Firearms (Scotland) Rules 1989 by substituting five years for three years in the references to the period for which the certificate is granted or renewed, as the case may be. This is a consequence of the period laid down in section 26(3) of the Firearms Act 1968 being so extended by the Firearms (Period of Certificate) Order 1994 (S.I. 1994/2614).
1968 c. 27; section 27(2) was amended by the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988 (c. 45), section 23(5); section 53 was extended by section 25(6) of the 1988 Act; section 57(4) contains a definition of "prescribed".
