HC Deb 29 March 1968 vol 761 cc354-5W
Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why it is necessary to have two sections on the form under which the applicant for a shotgun certificate has to put in his full name and title.

Mr. Callaghan

The name of the applicant is required on the top part of the form to facilitate the introduction of computer working in the police forces that have access to computer facilities, and on the lower part to help other forces to maintain a manual filing system.
