As far as understand it and I could well be wrong on this, any firearms licence holder who allows a person who has had their firearms licence revoked to use or have access to a firearm under their supervision can have their own firearms licence revoked.

27 Revocation and surrender of firearms licence

(1) Where, in the opinion of a commissioned officer of Police,—

(b) access to any firearm or airgun in the possession of the person to whom a firearms licence has been issued is reasonably likely to be obtained by any person—

(iii) whose firearms licence has been revoked on the ground that he is not a fit and proper person to be in possession of a firearm or airgun; or

(iv) who, in the opinion of a commissioned officer of Police, is not a fit and proper person to be in possession of a firearm or airgun—

the commissioned officer of Police may, by notice in writing under his hand, revoke the firearms licence, and the person to whom that firearms licence has been issued shall upon demand surrender the licence to a member of the Police.
