T
he Countryside Alliance has spoken to a number of media outlets to challenge a paper being used to attack the use of lead ammunition. The Alliance argues that this paper is being used to spread conclusions that go far beyond the existing science. The Lead Ammunition Group (LAG) that was created by Defra delivered its report in 2016. Its conclusions were considered by the Government at the time and were rejected. The Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs wrote to Chairman of the LAG to inform him that this rejection “marked the end of the Group”. A collection of people continues to call itself the LAG, but it neither reports to Defra nor fulfils the criteria of the original LAG. It is a lobby group that campaigns against lead ammunition. This group has produced a paper called the Lead Ammunition Group Update Report. The report has received some moderate coverage in the press, as it seeks to sensationalise the number of birds affected by lead ammunition, to place a financial value on those birds and suggest population-level impacts on red kite, buzzard and grey partridge.

customers can’t wait to get their hands on them.
“Now the Bantam Mk2 is shipping the Compatto Mk2 should follow very quickly and then we are on course for the release of the Commander in mid-June just as we announced at IWA.” For more information please visit

received by this paper, Shooting Campaigns manager Jack Knott said: “The UK already has strict legislation which prohibits the use of lead shot for the shooting of wildfowl and over wetlands, and remains well ahead of many other European countries in restricting the use of lead ammunition. This is significant because most species of wildfowl are migratory and visit a number of countries during migration to and from the UK.” Coverage of the report has quoted the new LAG’s chairman, John Swift, claiming that “replacing all leaded ammunition, certainly for live quarry shooting, would be more effective, cheaper and more straightforward”. The Countryside Alliance refutes this unrealistic position.
