asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he is aware of the keen dissatisfaction among gun licensees on account of the allocation of 25 cartridges to holders of £2 licences in respect of the period from the 1st August to the 31st December, 1944; and if he will consider revising this allocation to 25 cartridges for each month of the season.
