Details

Firearms licensing fees are being increased to achieve full-cost recovery for the police, in line with government’s manifesto commitment. This will support policing to provide more effective and efficient firearms licensing controls, helping them to safeguard the public from the misuse of licensed firearms and to provide a professional service to applicants.
