HC Deb 02 February 1995 vol 253 c805W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department which companies he has issued with section 5 firearm licences for the storage, handling or development of electro-shock equipment since 1988.

Mr. Maclean

No company has been granted authority specifically to store, handle or develop electric shock weapons in the last three years. Information about the granting of authority for these purposes in earlier years could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
