Sources close to the Government have told Shooting Times that the long-awaited Lead Ammunition (Restriction) Bill, which will ban lead in live quarry shooting, will be put before Parliament in the autumn.

Given the broad cross-party agreement on the matter, it is very likely that the Bill will pass largely unopposed.
