§ Mr. Adleyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in the light 644W of the Government's defeat on the Firearms (Variation of Fees) Order on 27th October 1976, he will now consider amalgamating the licence-application methods for the public, so that one form could be completed annually for television, gun, dog, motor-vehicle taxation and other licences, in order to save administrative costs and travelling and postage time for the public.
§ Dr. SummerskillNo. Since the various fees are collected by a number of different agencies on behalf of a variety of public authorities, I fear that the proposal is not practicable.
