‘(1)If the Secretary of State is satisfied that any imitation firearm, or type, model or class of imitation firearm, will create a danger to public safety, he may by regulations, made after consulting such persons or bodies appearing to him to represent those trading in, or using, imitation firearms as he shall consider appropriate, prohibit—
(a)the manufacture of such imitation firearms;
(b)the modification of firearms or imitation firearms so that they become such imitation firearms;
(c)the sale of such imitation firearms; and

unless the imitation firearms conform to such specifications and conditions as may be set out in the regulations.’.
