The Czech Prime minister Vaclav Klaus has announced that the government is to introduce legislation to restrict the number of private security firms, currently 3,860. The number of firms has mushroomed because they have been issued licences to start a business with few restrictions. Now the government says it will introduce a law to restrict the issuing of guns licences and prevent former members of the secret police (StB) or military services from being employed within two years of terminating their previous jobs.
