They are kept under review and strengthened whenever necessary to protect the public from the misuse of firearms. For example, the Offensive Weapons Act 2019 recently banned the manufacture and sale of rapid-firing rifles, owing to the serious threat they present should they fall into the hands of criminals or terrorists. Possession of such rifles will be banned following a surrender and compensation scheme later this year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 13/01/2020 17:09:50 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

Consideration of an applicant’s medical suitability is part of the assessment.</p><p>The Government consulted last year on the introduction of new statutory guidance to the police on their firearms licensing functions. The consultation included proposals for revised medical arrangements to ensure a more consistent approach in which forces do not grant a licence without sight of medical information from the applicant’s GP. We will publish the statutory guidance in due course following consideration of the responses to the consultation.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 10/03/2020 17:02:40 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
