Firearms licensing fees: Minister’s statement and impact assessment – GOV.UK

posted 15 January 2025, 8:53 pm
Please see the links below to the Minister’s statement today and to the Government Impact Assessment on Firearms Licensing Fees.
 
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. 
 

Minister’s Statement

 
Impact Assessment – fees are set out in paragraph 68.
