HC Deb 18 May 1978 vol 950 cc260-1W
Mr. Scott-Hopkins

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what were the numbers of shot-gun licences renewed and issued to new applicants, respectively, in 1977;

(2) how many applications for shot-gun licences were refused in 1977 in England and Wales.

Dr. Summerskill

Records of applications for shot-gun certificates are not maintained centrally, and I regret that the information could not be obtained without disproportionate cost.
