Circular 001/2025: Firearms (Variation of Fees) Order 2025 – GOV.UK
posted 16 January 2025, 11:53 pm
Following my earlier news post the formal fees circular has now been posted – see link below.
I repeat my earlier statements follows
Allowing for the amount of time since the last increases (2015) the Impact assessment sets out the background to the increases and “full cost recovery”. However, BSSC continues to insist that the increase in funding should be linked to the need for a considerably improved level of service across Firearms Licensing Departments to equal those which give the best service. We have also continued to make the case for potential legislation which will reduce FLD work load such as deregulating moderators.
