The firearms licensing system is kept under review to safeguard against abuse and to maintain public safety. We have taken forward a range of measures to strengthen the controls including:<\/p>
- two new offences to tighten controls on deactivated firearms and imitation firearms in the Policing and Crime Act 2017;<\/p>
- a consultation on defining antique firearms in statute, to provide legal
clarity and prevent them falling into criminal hands. Responses to the consultation are currently being considered;<\/p>
- a consultation on proposals to prohibit two types of firearm of particular concern: large calibre rifles and certain rapid firing rifles. Responses to the consultation are currently being considered; and,<\/p>
- we have commenced a review of the regulation of air weapons.<\/p>
The Government will continue to keep firearms legislation under review to
ensure it remains effective in preventing misuse, while ensuring lawful owners can continue to use their firearms safely.<\/p>"}

Her Majesty\u2019s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Service (HMICFRS) runs an annual public consultation on its inspection programme through which we ensure the inspectorate is sighted on Ministerial priorities<\/p>
The programme is approved by the Home Secretary before it is published.<\/p>
The exercise of police powers such as Schedule 7 is already annually reviewed by the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation (IRTL), who reports on the operation of the Terrorism Act 2000 and powers including Schedule 7.<\/p>
All police forces refer complaints alleging discriminatory use of Schedule 7 powers to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) for investigation. IPCC investigations are part of the evidence considered by the IRTL.<\/p>
In his annual review of 2013 IRTL David Anderson QC reported that he had \u201cno reason to believe that Schedule 7 powers are exercised in a racially discriminatory way\u201d, a view he repeated in subsequent reports.
