HC Deb 20 November 1972 vol 846 c295W
62. Sir S. McAdden

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what regulations govern the carrying of firearms by members of diplomatic missions in London; and how many licences have been issued and to whom.

Mr. Carlisle

Members of diplomatic missions are expected to comply with the requirements of the Firearms Act, 1968. Firearm certificates are not issued to diplomats or to other persons for purposes of personal protection. I understand from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that the information asked for in the second part of the Question is not separately recorded.
