Sir Julian Smith

Conservative — Skipton and Ripon

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 June 2026

Debate

Lead Ammunition

Contribution

I thank the Minister for the answer. According to the ammunitions industry, the upcoming ban on lead in commercial bullets is going to cause significant problems for the police and armed forces, in terms of cost and supply. Viking Arms, in my constituency, which supplies the military and the police, is deeply worried about this issue. Will he meet it and any other suppliers to hear their concerns about the problem?
