Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when the department plans to consult on secondary legislation in respect to the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act in order to give Transport for London the power to regulate micro mobility.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

We plan to consult on licensing for shared cycles in the coming months. Following this, we will implement licensing through a combination of secondary legislation and guidance to empower local leaders across England, including TfL in London, to regulate these schemes.

Written Question
Firearms: Licensing
Thursday 9th July 2026

Asked by: Ruth Cadbury (Labour - Brentford and Isleworth)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to reduce the use of forged shotgun licences in England.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

Data on the number of forged firearms certificates used to purchase shotguns in England is not collected centrally. The law is clear on the sales of shotguns that a purchaser must hold the appropriate firearms certificate and transactions must comply with the relevant legal requirements and police procedures in place. The Government is considering what further action may be needed to strengthen the controls on the private sale of firearms and shotguns by licence holders.
