Conor O'Gorman Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 BASC has requested a meeting with the new Environment Secretary Steve Reed MP to discuss his commitment to support sustainable shooting. At BASC’s reception at the Labour Party Conference last autumn, held in partnership with the Angling Trust, Mr Reed – who was Shadow Defra Secretary at the time – spoke of his party’s aim to have a “respectful relationship with the countryside”, which “includes…supporting shooting that is sustainable and conducted according to the law”. https://basc.org.uk/basc-seeks-meeting-with-new-environment-secretary/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the The Minister for Crime and Policing is appointed we will do so as they will be responsible for policies relating to firearms.
