	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2015 answer text <p>The Home Office does not collect data on the number of people arrested in connection with firearms. For offences that may or may not involve a firearm (such as robbery) we cannot separately identify those that involved a firearm from those that did not. As a result, we cannot provide numbers of arrests made in connection with firearms. In addition, specific arrests made by the police cannot be linked to convictions and sentences given in court. As a result, we would be unable to say how many of those arrests led to a sentence of five years or more.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 08/09/2015 17:04:29 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

	tabling member constituency	Kingston and Surbiton

	uin	8822
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2015 answer text <p>There was a significant change in the methodology used to record detections to the new outcomes framework introduced in April 2013. The new outcomes framework includes a broader range of “outcomes” for crimes dealt with by the police. This provides greater transparency on how crimes are resolved when compared with the former detections framework which only covered a subset of the new outcomes and, therefore, of the ways crimes are &quot;resolved&quot;.</p><p>Information on the new outcomes framework and data for England and Wales were published by the Home Office in its “Crime Outcomes in England and Wales 2014/15” bulletin, alongside the number of outcomes in each police force area. www.gov.uk/government/statistics/crime-outcomes-in-england-and-wales-2014-to-2015</p><p>Figures for year ending March 2015 for England and Wales and the Metropolitan Police are shown in the table provided for all outcomes under the new framework. These show how crimes recorded in 2014/15 were dealt with. It is not possible to provide data for Kingston and Surbiton constituency as outcomes data are collected at police force area level.</p><p>Care needs to be taken when making comparisons of crime outcomes between police forces as different police forces use outcomes in different ways and will have a different mix of crimes to deal with. In addition, the figures for the Metropolitan Police are only available between December 2014 and March 2015, so a greater proportion of crimes from this more recent period will remain under investigation.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 11/09/2015 14:45:54 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning attachment 1 file name Table - PQ 8822.xls title Table - PQ 8822
