This document is the UK Northern Ireland Arms Decommissioning Act 1997, Chapter 7. The act outlines provisions related to decommissioning firearms, ammunition, and explosives in Northern Ireland. The Act establishes a decommissioning scheme facilitated by the Secretary of State, including methods of decommissioning, an amnesty period, and provisions for the destruction of decommissioned items. It also establishes the Commission to oversee decommissioning activities and specifies offences covered by the amnesty. The Act prohibits the admissibility of decommissioned articles in criminal proceedings and outlines testing restrictions on decommissioned items. Additionally, the Act addresses the decommissioning of arms in England, Wales, and Scotland, along with provisions for expenses, interpretation, and saving powers related to criminal proceedings.
