Statement by Stephen Jolly, Executive Director

The debate around US tariffs on overseas goods continues. The GTA is conferring with its US counterpart. However, the UK’s Department of Business & Trade will play a critical role in helping determine the British response to the Trump administration’s levy on UK goods. To that end, I have written to the Secretary of State for Business & Trade and two of his junior ministers setting out our fundamental opposition to tariffs. I have also reminded Ministers of the contribution the gun trade makes to the UK economy. I have urged the Government to seek a bilateral free trade agreement with the United States at the earliest opportunity.

GTA member companies have contacted us describing the disruption to trade they are experiencing. They have also expressed concern over the risk of retaliatory tariffs from the UK. The GTA is fully aware of the inadvertent impact of tariffs on the cost and availability of certain minerals and metals which is already adversely affecting areas such as ammunition manufacture.

The GTA visited New Scotland Yard last week as part of the Metropolitan Police Fi****ms Licensing Stakeholder Group. In this particular meeting, important topics such as licensing performance, blank firers ban, new legislation concerning Section11(a) and miniature rifle ranges and College of Policing FEO training were discussed. The GTA think these stakeholder groups with the Police are extremely beneficial as it permits open dialogue with both sides and therefore the ability to understand each other better and work towards satisfactory solutions.
