Labour (Co-op) — Manchester Central

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 November 2024

Debate

Business of the House

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for raising that important question. He will be aware that resources allocated to firearms licensing units are a matter for the relevant chief officer. However, we would expect forces to process these applications very quickly and efficiently so that resources can get to where they are needed. The next Home Office questions are the week after next, so he might want to raise the matter with the Home Secretary then.
