I am advised that it is necessary to make certain transitional arrangements to facilitate operational changes in relation to a changeover from one year to three year licenses. These amendments will be provided for in the Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous) Provisions Bill which will be published shortly. I will also take the opportunity of that Bill to consider whether the strengthening of firearms provisions is necessary in the light of court judgements.
