Most recent appearances
- Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Firearm and Shotgun Licences (8 Feb 2010)
“In March 2009, 62 police officers were employed in the firearms and explosives functions in England and Wales, alongside 582 police staff of whom five were police community support officers.”
- Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Firearm and Shotgun Licences (8 Feb 2010)
“The number of firearms offences has fallen in each of the last five years, partly because we have some of the tightest controls on legally held guns to prevent them from being used by criminals. It is true that legally held weapons are being stolen, and the Association of Chief Police Officers and the British Shooting Sports Council are trying to establish what further advice is necessary.”
- Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Topical Questions (8 Feb 2010)
“I do not believe that anyone has been misled in this regard. People were consulted over the transformation programme. It is important that the FSS undergoes this change in order that we secure the remaining sites. The work that will be undertaken on those sites is a very important part of fighting crime. The transformation process is absolutely essential.”
