HL Deb 01 July 1998 vol 591 c80WA
The Earl of Haddington

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Williams of Mostyn of 16 June (WA 128), whether they will list the officials of the Home Office who have attended meetings of the Association of Chief Police Officers' Sub-group on the Administration of Firearms Licensing Review Group; and the dates of each meeting held in 1995 and 1996. [HL2396]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

I understand from the Association of Chief Police Officers that prior to 1997 this group had no formal status and no systematic records were kept of thead hoc meetings which were held. Home Office officials did not attend these early meetings, so far as can be ascertained.
