BASC ensures your voice is heard by government.

One of BASC’s key roles is representing your opinions, and the interests of the sporting shooting community, to government. With continual legislative proposals emerging from Westminster, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast, and further afield, the association is constantly responding to consultations and fresh initiatives. Some directly affect shooting, others, which often seem innocuous, can have severe implications for our sport if we are not constantly vigilant. 

When a consultation is announced BASC takes the subject matter under consideration for a response.  Depending on the consultation’s relevance and significance to BASC’s five strategic objectives we will utilise the experience of our staff, advisory committees and BASC Council to provide a position for the basis of a consultation response.

BASC welcomes engagement on consultations from its members and other stakeholder organisations.  It is especially important to get in touch with us if you are aware of a current consultation that is not covered in our list and you think this is relevant to BASC’s remit to protect and promote shooting.
