2023/26002 - Gun licences

REQUEST

I am writing to submit a Freedom of Information Act request for data concerning firearm and shotgun licences. This follows a similar request that I had submitted previously, for data for the year 2019. 

Any person who has a firearm or shotgun licence revoked by an issuing police force is entitled to appeal that revocation in court. 

For the 2020, 2021 and 2022 calendar years, please tell me:

1) did the force return any revoked firearm or shotgun licences to a person once the force had been notified that the former licence holder had lodged an appeal in court, but before that court case was concluded and before a judge had ruled in favour of the appellant?

2) If the answer to question 1 was yes, how many a) firearm and b) shotgun licences were returned in such circumstances? 

Please provide the data in a spreadsheet format.
