This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Arms Bill

Licences and approvals - Expiry, surrender, suspension, and revocation of licences - Revocation of licences

160: Effect of revocation of museum worker licence

You could also call this:

"What happens if a museum worker's gun licence is taken away"

If a museum worker's licence is revoked, you must give the licence back to the chief executive straight away. When you surrender your licence, you can no longer have, show, or keep any arms items as part of your job. This change is part of a proposed new law, which is currently in a bill called the Arms Bill.
