Written Question
Airguns
Tuesday 24th April 2018

Asked by: Maria Caulfield (Conservative - Lewes)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many of the responses it received to its consultation on the use of air weapons raised concerns about the shooting of animals.

Answered by Nick Hurd

The Government received over 50,000 representations from members of the public about the review of the regulations of air weapons, a significant proportion of which were concerned about the use of these weapons against animals such as cats. We are considering the representations that we received and will publish our findings in due course.
