§ Sir Eldon GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information is collected by(a) the Home Department and (b) police forces on the number of persons convicted of firearms offences who were in possession of a firearms certificate at the time when their offence was committed; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. John PattenPolice forces would incur disproportionate cost in collating this information. It is, therefore, not available centrally.
