Ms Nokes said: “Clay pigeon shooting is a sport that is enjoyed by people of all ages, and in which Great Britain competes alongside the best in the world.”

“It is also a great way to introduce young people to the responsible and safe use of guns.”

The MP wanted to have a go at shooting after trying the clay shooting simulator that BASC took to Westminster in December.
