Crossbows: Licensing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when her Department will announce details of a licensing scheme for existing crossbow owners.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Government response to the call for evidence on crossbow controls conducted by the Home Office from 14 February to 9 April 2024 was published on 19 March this year. This set out the Government’s intention to introduce a new licensing scheme for existing crossbow owners and also a prohibition on sales of crossbows. We will be consulting on the details of that licensing scheme and the prohibition on sales in due course.
