answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2020 answer text <p>The police are responsible for assessing the suitability of those applying for the grant or renewal of firearm, shotgun and some explosives licences, to ensure that they do not pose a danger to public safety. 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
