To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps her Department has taken to work with her European counterparts on tackling illicit manufacture and trafficking of ammunition.
James Brokenshire
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department
The Home Office and operational law enforcement partners are actively participating in the recently agreed EU organised crime priorities, which include the illicit trafficking of firearms and component parts (such as ammunition). The National Ballistic Intelligence Service (NABIS) and other law enforcement agencies from the UK (such as the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) and United Kingdom Border Force (UKBF)) also regularly liaise with European partners, including Europol, exchanging information and intelligence on ballistics, as necessary.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
