answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>The Home Secretary received advice from law enforcement agencies on the threat and risk to public safety from high energy rifles, including .50 calibre rifles.</p><p>At the Home Secretary’s request, we have received further advice from the National Crime Agency on whether there are alternatives to prohibition which would reduce the risk, in particular more secure storage arrangements. In light of that advice, the Home Secretary has decided that further detailed consideration is required on how best to tighten controls on high energy rifles. We have therefore tabled an amendment to remove the proposed prohibition from the Bill and will undertake a full public consultation to seek as wide a range of views as possible on this important issue.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 03/12/2018 17:34:13 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
