On 2 June Dr Tom Mortimer and Dr Rhidian Lewis were invited to the Tower of London to participate in the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding between Anglia Law School and the National Firearms Centre, which is itself part of the Royal Armouries.

The signing of the Memorandum had, at its core, a clear intention to identify and secure funding through which Anglia Law School, the International Law Unit of Anglia Law School and the National Firearms Centre may expand areas of research plus teaching and learning. The agreed partnership is the first time that the Royal Armouries has entered into such a relationship, and it is fully committed to supporting a programme of joint initiatives. Mr Chris Case (Custodian of the Royal Armouries) reported that he was "delighted to be working closely with Anglia Law School, and looked forward to building upon the existing activities already established between our two organisations".

Dr Tom Mortimer, on behalf of Anglia Law School, also embraced the joint initiative stating that "this represents a considerable opportunity through which we will gain increased opportunity to develop areas of expertise and build upon our areas of commonality."
