<p>The National Ballistics Intelligence Service (NABIS) and wider law enforcement
regularly assess the volume of illegal firearms used in crime in the UK. NABIS produce
quarterly reports on the threat, but their assessment is continuous and key information
is shared amongst law enforcement on a real time basis. This information is operationally
sensitive and not published.</p><p>We are continuing to deliver the Strategic Defence
and Security Review commitment to choke off the supply and availability of illegal
firearms to prevent their use by criminal or terrorist groups in the UK. This includes
ensuring we have the right intelligence, detection and enforcement capabilities and
policies, internationally, at the UK border, and within the UK.</p>
