	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/01/2024 answer text <p>The issuing of firearms licences is a devolved matter overseen by the Department of Justice in Northern Ireland. The Secretary of State has a limited role relating to certain appeals against the decision of the Chief Constable not to issue firearms licences. He has not been involved in any recent discussions with the PSNI on this issue, however, Northern Ireland Office officials engage with PSNI colleagues on a regular basis. The Hon Member will know that Northern Ireland Office ministers are not an alternative to functioning devolved government and I hope he will use his considerable influence to promote the restoration of a Northern Ireland Executive so that matters such as this may be dealt with in the proper manner.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wycombe answering member printed Mr Steve Baker question first answered 10/01/2024 10:49:27 answering member 4064 label Biography information for Mr Steve Baker
