is undertaken by the holder; revocations are at the authority of the Chief Constable and
occur in instances where it is believed the holder should no longer be allowed to possess
a firearm. 2 A fee is charged where a variation increases the number of firearms authorised by the certificate. 3 Population as at mid-June 1997. 4 Includes estimate made centrally for Lothian & Borders who were unable to provide this information. |
