Current Stage: 1st reading
Last updated: 28/04/2022
Overview
This bill aims to restrict the use of lead ammunition in England and Wales, initially focusing on its use for shooting animals, with a later ban on its use in target shooting. Exceptions are made for certain official duties and existing stock.
Description
The Lead Ammunition (Restriction) Bill makes it an offence to possess, use, or sell lead ammunition for shooting animals in England and Wales. This takes effect from July 1st, 2022.
Exceptions: Serving members of the armed forces, police officers, and border control officers are exempt if using lead ammunition for official duties with authorized permission. Possession of lead ammunition acquired before July 1st, 2022, for shooting animals is allowed until September 1st, 2025.
Target Shooting: The use of lead ammunition for target shooting will become an offence from September 1st, 2025.
Penalty: The penalty for violating the law is a fine (level 4 on the standard scale).
Government Spending
The bill does not explicitly state any associated government spending. Enforcement costs might be incurred.
Groups Affected
- Shooters (animal and target): Will be affected by the restrictions on lead ammunition. This could lead to increased costs and the need to switch to alternative ammunition.
- Ammunition manufacturers and sellers: May experience a reduction in sales of lead ammunition.
- Armed forces, police, and border force: Exempt under specific conditions for official duties.
- Wildlife: Potentially benefits from reduced lead poisoning.
