On the BBC news this morning there was an article reference the cost of shotgun/firearm certificate/licences.
Apparently the police in general,I think it was the Association of Chief Police Officers ( ACPO),want the licence fee increased because they are making a considerable loss issuing them. They are mentioning doubling the costs.
This has been mentioned before but it has never been a newsworthy item until now.
If it is going to cost us in the order of £100 to take out or renew a licence then the the various police authorities/forces are going to have to get their act together and start offering a more efficient service.
It may,of course,be a back door attempt to reduce the number of licences.
