FCP Information document for Shooters
Attached is the information briefing document from the combined Shooting groups on the Firearms Consultative Panel.
Following advices from the Attorney General that Statutory Instruments giving effect to the firearm amendments must apply to full sections of the Act and not to part sections, it is now the case that some of the planned role out of the new firearms code will be delayed at least until the enactment of the Firearms Miscellaneous Bill which is due for publication on July 3rd under the Programme for Government. As a result, the intended classification of restricted firearms will not now be applied on May 1st 2008 as planned.
