and (2)(a)(i) and(ii). I wish to inform the Honourable Member that the Central Firearms Register (CFR) falls within the area of responsibility of the Minister of Police. The information to this part of the question must be obtained from the Minister of Police

(b). The information on the costs of the litigation is unfortunately not readily available as the case numbers and further particulars in respect of each of the cases will first have to be obtained from the SAPS.
