Fees for firearms licences were last increased in 2015 and the Government is currently considering proposals for new firearms licensing fees.

I hope to make an announcement about fees shortly.

Income received from firearms licensing fees should be invested into ensuring forces’ licensing teams are adequately resourced, trained and equipped.
