You say estimated, do BASC know how the numbers were arrived at and if crossed checked against imports and U.k. manufacturers as 1.7million 16gauge appears rather a large number.

Yes, I think they were cross checked like that and for live quarry usage against live quarry shooting data. The full background doc drills into a lot of detail. There are estimated figures in there on muzzle loading also from MLAGB.

In BASC's submission to the final HSE consultation (Dec 2023) the number of shotgun cartridges estimated to be used annually for live quarry shooting included 12 bore (61.8 million), 16 bore (1.7 million), 20 bore (2.5 million) and .410 (2.5 million). Those estimates were taken from a BSSC submission to an earlier HSE call for evidence.
