answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2016 answer text <p>Under the Firearms Act 1968, which applies to England, Wales and Scotland, firearm and shotgun certificate administration is a matter for the chief officer of police for the area in which the applicant lives. The time taken to process a firearm or shotgun application can vary as the chief officer must take into account the need to manage risk and ensure public protection.</p><p>The Policing and Crime Bill, which is before Parliament, introduces a power to issue statutory guidance to the police in relation to firearms licensing which should lead to improved consistency in practice across forces.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 13/06/2016 14:48:14 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2016 answer text <p>The MoJ spent £182,428,000 on non-payroll staff in 2015-16. Successive administrations have recruited non-payroll staff to fill short-term business critical roles where the permanent workforce does not have the required skills. These roles are mainly linked to major reform programmes. Agency workers are also recruited into administrative roles where it is value for money to have a flexible workforce due to peaks and troughs in demand. However as part of this Government's MOJ Transformation programme the department is looking to reduce expenditure on non-payroll staff.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 14/06/2016 15:35:28 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
