Firearms: Licensing
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps her Department has taken to ensure that firearms licensing fees are representative of the true cost to police forces of issuing and tracking licences.
- Answer
-
We remain firmly committed to ensuring there is an appropriate balance between the fee paid and the licence service provided. We are working with the police and other members of the shooting community to improve the efficiency of the licensing process, in part by moving much of the licensing system online. Once these efficiencies are realised we will be in a position to reassess fee levels.
