Firearms: Licensing

Question for Home Office

UIN 902339, tabled on 26 March 2024

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment he has made of trends in the level of fees for firearms licences.

Answered on

15 April 2024

Fees for firearms licences were last increased in 2015 and the Government is currently considering proposals for new firearms licensing fees.

I hope to make an announcement about fees shortly.

Income received from firearms licensing fees should be invested into ensuring forces’ licensing teams are adequately resourced, trained and equipped.
