Answer
The Government has no plans to introduce a licensing system or a code of practice for driven grouse shooting. There is a code of practice for good shooting developed by the industry (www.codeofgoodshootingpractice.org.uk), which applies to all game shooting, walked up, driven, wild bird or reared.
