Details

In July 2010 the Home Affairs Committee of the House of Commons announced its intention to hold an inquiry into controls on firearms to examine whether or not there was a need for changes to the way in which firearms and/or shot gun certificates are issued, monitored and reviewed as a means of preventing gun violence.

The government has considered the committee’s recommendations carefully and this paper sets out the government’s response.
