§ Mr. TINKERasked the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that a large number of licences for arms have been refused renewal in the past years; and whether any alteration of the rules under the Arms Act has been made to enable this to be carried into effect?
§ Sir S. HOAREI have no information as regards the first part of the question. No alteration of the rules under the Arms Act would be necessary to enable the appropriate authorities to refuse renewal of licences.
