Windsor Castle intruder: Priti Patel orders review of crossbow laws as 19-year-old man remains in custody

Crossbows are legal in the UK and no licence or registration is required to own them at present as they are not legally classed as firearms – but people can be prosecuted for using them for illegal hunting or for attacking people

Priti Patel has ordered a review into crossbow laws after a 19-year-old man was arrested for allegedly carrying one in the grounds of Windsor Castle on Christmas Day.

The Home Secretary has instructed her department to look into ways to “strengthen controls” on the weapons.

At present, crossbows are legal in the UK and no licence or registration is required to own them as they are not legally classed as firearms.
