panoma1 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Swift has submitted his report to DEFRA, I say his, because most of the representatives on the LAG resigned weeks ago! Wanting no part of it! .........On submitting a "report" I imagine the LAG is done, and as a result is now defunct? I understand that the representatives who resigned from the LAG have sent in their own agreed report to DEFRA which has I further understand, been endorsed by BASC. It's now up to DEFRA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Indeed, I have today received an email from the CA saying exactly that. Here is the text................. Two Lead Ammunition Group (LAG) reports have now been presented to Defra. The first report has been tabled by the Chairman John Swift, and is the same report over which we raised over 170 comments and with which we refused to be associated, hence the resignation from the LAG. A second report has now been tabled by the now four ex-members of the LAG. As well as the Countryside Alliance this new group includes the Gun Trade Association, National Game Dealers Association and the Country Land and Business Association, with the support of the British Association of Shooting and Conservation.

markm Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Correct me if I'm wrong, but john swift was high up in basc? Why has he turned on shooting? Was he a shooter himself? I've also seen that he is no longer a member. Surely he would receive a life membership? Was that taken away? Correct me if I'm wrong, but john swift was high up in basc?

markm Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 No. Are you a comedian? I know he chaired the LAG, I know people are walking away from the group. But I must have missed the answers to the questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 No. Are you a comedian? No, but it was meant tongue in cheek, hence the smilie. But nevermind. I know he chaired the LAG, I know people are walking away from the group. But I must have missed the answers to the questions. You would have found most of the answers in your BASC magazine, regarding the position he held in BASC and whether he was a shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 So was mine, but nevermind....... Two quality replies. I don't rate the basc magazine, so don't read it in depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
