The suggestion of creating a centralised licensing authority has been put forward by a number of speakers. Perhaps the witnesses could give us some idea of how they think that might work. We do not have time to go into great detail today, but perhaps the witnesses would come back to us at a later stage with their thoughts on that.

I must point out that this is an all-party parliamentary committee. I do not know if representatives of firearms owners, clubs and so forth have appeared before a committee such as this before.
