Political Affairs

Gundogs politicsShooters 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.
