NPCC FELWG, MEETING HELD AT DYFED POWYS POLICE HQ, WEDNESDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER, 2016.

Read item 5.

Note the spurious public safety justification - who will be all over this - no-one.
 
"The issue of fees remain completely separate, as this is a matter between the HomeOffice, Police and Doctors and not the BMA as you can’t just negotiate with the BMA because the doctors do not follow what they say."

Pot, kettle, black, and could well be paraphrased in relation to FLOs inconsistency in following HO guidance.
 
So a potential 16 weeks for a renewal appears acceptable practice?????

"The Home Office amend the Police and Crime Bill to introduce a system of automatic renewal, which would assist forces by removing the need to do away with the Section 7 permits, by extending the validity dates of certificates for 8 weeks automatically if the renewal process had not been finalised, where an application had been submitted 8 weeks before expiry, it would continue in force or a further 8 weeks. This would in effect give forces 16 weeks to deal with applications. This had come from a recommendation from the Law Commission report."
