HC Deb 25 November 1969 vol 792 c64W
Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the total number of shotgun certificates which have been issued to the latest available date.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

By 31st October, 1968 chief officers of police in England and Wales had issued 601,988 shotgun certificates and 1,379 visitors' shotgun certificates. The number of shotgun certificates in force is not likely to have altered much since then.
