Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Army Cadet Forces are still permitted to fire live weapons.
Yes. Army Cadets are still permitted to fire live weapons as part of the Army Cadet syllabus.
The operating of live weapons by the Army Cadets is regulated through the Small Arms School Corps, with input from National Governing Bodies. Army Cadets do not take part in any Live Fire Tactical Training.
