The British Shooting Chairman Phil Boakes has issued a response on the Mission 2012 press briefing:

"We acknowledge the concerns contained in the report and indeed some of them we have raised ourselves with UK Sport. We know there are problems that need addressing and we are working closely with UK Sport to resolve them. These include lack of facilities in the UK and handgun legislation. There are issues which can be resolved in the short-term, others will take longer. On a positive note our shooters continue to compete well at international level having just won medals in Cyprus and Germany and preparations for Beijing continue to go well. Clearly the decision not have a permanent facility for the London 2012 Olympics with a legacy for the future does not help and is a lost opportunity."
