To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will review and strengthen crossbow regulation.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

The Home Office conducted a call for evidence on strengthening controls on crossbows on public safety grounds, between 14 February to 9 April 2024.

The responses have been reviewed and we will shortly publish the Government’s response, which will include what action we intend to take alongside a summary of the responses received.
