answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/05/2021 answer text <p>We are not currently looking to strengthen legislation in relation to the sale of starting guns.</p><p> </p><p>A person must be registered with the police as a firearms dealer before they can sell firearms by way of trade or business, and a person requires a firearms certificate issued by the police before they can purchase a small firearm for the purposes of starting races at athletic meetings. Such certificates will be conditioned accordingly and will only authorise the use of blank ammunition. Only those starters who are qualified up to a certain level under the UK Athletics grading structure should be granted such a certificate.</p><p>Starters of swimming, cycling and other races have no need of working firearms and may use starting pistols which can only fire blank ammunition. Such starting pistols do not have an open barrel, so they are not classed as firearms and are not subject to certification.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 28/05/2021 12:08:23 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/05/2021 answer text <p>Following a public consultation in 2018, it was clear that more police powers were needed to tackle unauthorised encampments, which can cause distress and misery to many communities and businesses. In 2019, the Government conducted a public consultation, seeking views on how we should extend police powers. We sought views from a wide range of interested parties, including Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities. In addition, the national charity - Friends, Family and Travellers - launched a campaign, through which they sought views and fed those in to the Home Office. All views expressed were considered by the Home Office when we took our decisions.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 28/05/2021 12:04:13 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
