Earlier than expected, the HMICFRS have just published an interim report specifically into Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Firearms Licensing. They are calling the report an “accelerated cause for concern”.

Their reviews of other Firearms Licensing Departments continue.

This is published for members information and we will follow the other reports through BSSC.

We request that members do not comment on this on the forum, which is unnecessary and inappropriate.

The report and press release can be found here:
