<p>We are reviewing the regulation of air weapons in England and Wales, and requested
the views of interested parties by 6 February 2018. The review is looking at issues
such as manufacturing standards, secure storage and whether current arrangements are
sufficient to prevent children gaining access to air weapons, as well as licensing
arrangements in Scotland and Northern Ireland.</p><p>We are taking into account representations
put forward by animal welfare organisations as part of the review. The Department
has received a large number of representations on these topics, and we are considering
them carefully before deciding how to proceed. We will publish the outcome of the
review in due course.</p>
