To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport whether she plans to meet the governing bodies of shooting in the near future. [186922]

Mr. Caborn

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has no plans to meet the governing bodies of shooting in the near future. Officials from the Home Office and Defra have recently met representatives from the governing bodies of shooting to discuss the Home Office consultation on firearms. DCMS officials will continue discussions with Home Office and Defra officials to ensure that the interests of shooting clubs are given appropriate consideration.
