  The majority of MPs voted against a presumption a firearms license ought be refused where there is substantiated evidence of violent conduct, domestic violence, mental illness or drug or alcohol abuse found in a background check on an applicant.
  
  MPs were considering the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Bill[1]. The motion rejected in this vote was:
  
  :That the clause be read a Second time.
  
  The clause in question was New Clause 42[2] titled ''Firearmsâ licensing'' which introduced a presumption that a firearms license ought be refused where substantiated evidence of violent conduct, domestic violence, mental illness or drug or alcohol abuse is found in background checks following a licence application. The clause also sought to ensure the costs of the licencing scheme were covered by application fees.
