Shooters need a strong voice at the heart of Government and we provide this by maintaining support for sporting shooting in Whitehall, in political parties and in Europe. At Westminster we regularly brief MPs, encourage them to participate in the sport and provide the secretariat for the All Party Parliamentary Group on Shooting and Conservation.
In this section, you can find out about our work in Westminster, what the major political parties have to say about shooting and how to lobby your own MP.
For more information, journalists are welcome to contact the press office on 01244 573031 or email us.
