The committee recently discussed firearms. It was mentioned that in 1979, thousands of firearms were handed over to the Defence Forces for storage. While it might not arise here, is there a cost involved in that? Are there any long-term plans to dispose of those weapons? Related to that is the storage of obsolete equipment such as Bren guns and Gustavs that are no longer used. Is there a cost of storing those?
