HC Deb 02 November 1965 vol 718 cc155-6W
Sir P. Rawlinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many offences concerning the use of firearms were known to the police in England and Wales within the first six months of 1964 and the first six months of 1965, respectively.

Sir F. Soskice

This information would not be available without a special return from all police forces, which I think would rot be justified at this stage. I propose to ask chief officers in the New Year for a return covering 1965 as a whole.
