Consultations
BASC is fighting for your rights
BASC reviews hundreds of government consultations annually. When a threat or opportunity is identified we act when others dither.
BASC's responses to consultations and the rest of its policy work are not formulated on a whim, or written by external consultants. At any one time there are dozens of policy issues affecting shooting being worked on by over 50 staff across the UK. Marshalled by BASC Council and with the help of over 60 experts on six advisory committees, these staff are our frontline troops, armed with the expertise and desire to ensure that shooters are a force to be reckoned with, whether the debate is in Westminster, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Belfast or Brussels.
Below is a list of open consultations of interest to BASC and the deadline for responses to be submitted. This webpage is regularly updated. If you think we have missed something or if BASC should provide a more detailed briefing on any of these topics click here to let us know.

Show full biography and contact detailsConor joined BASC in 2003, spending several years successfully negotiating wildfowling leases and consents in England, Wales and Northern Ireland before expanding his role as Policy Development Manager to oversee the submission of BASC responses to all government consultations nationally and internationally. He specifically represents shooting interests on any proposals affecting the open general licences for pest birds.
Conor qualified as a Zoologist in Ireland in 1996 and began work on a game-keeping and habitat restoration project to save the Irish grey partridge from extinction, for which his research was awarded a PhD. He takes a keen interest in that project to this day, the last Irish population having recovered from a low of 22 birds a decade ago to over 900 birds today.
