Written question asked by Lord Corbett of Castle Vale (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Neville-Jones (Conservative) on Tuesday, 27 July 2010.
Firearms: Licensing
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to review the practice of firearms certificates being renewed without a police visit to the applicant.
- Answer
-
Information is not held centrally on the number of police forces making home visits to applicants wishing to renew their firearms certificates but the Home Office and the Association of Chief Police Officers recommend that such visits should be made. Following the tragic shootings in Cumbria, the Government have undertaken to consider current gun controls once the full facts of the incident are known and relevant ACPO peer reviews into the incident have reported.
