Because the HO, in their response to FOI requests, say so:
Thank you for your email of 22 May, in which you ask for the minutes of the meeting
between the Home Office and the Gun Trade Association (GTA) between April and May
2015. Your request has been handled as a request for information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.
I can confirm that the only meeting held between the GTA and the Home Office during
these months was on 21 April about various categories of firearms and how the law
pertains to each. There were no minutes of this meeting as this was effectively a lecture
about firearms.
That's the bit that worries me, but, your magazine; your readers.I'll accept it.
