Luke Pollard raised concerns that ‘sensible measures’ could be watered down
Luke Pollard urged the Prime Minister to stand with his community after the Keyham shootings and push ahead with measures to enhance gun controls
Labour MP Luke Pollard, who has been a campaigner on firearm controls since the shootings in his constituency in 2021, made the plea in the House of Commons at Prime Minister’s Questions.Prime Minister Rishi Sunak offered assurances that improvements are being made in the process of checks before someone acquires a legal firearm, but said the Home Office would respond to a consultation on the issue “in due course”.
The senior coroner for the area, Ian Arrow, has called for a “root and branch” reform of the UK’s gun laws to protect the public. Speaking in Parliament, Mr Pollard said: “Two years ago in Plymouth, we lost five people in Britain’s worst mass shooting the country has seen for a decade.“But after pressure from shooting groups, even these sensible measures look like they could be watered down.
