answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2015 answer text <p>All forms of hate crime are deplorable and it’s important that victims are protected and have the confidence to come forward.

uin	227234
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2015 answer text <p>This government is doing more than any previous government to disrupt organised <br>crime and protect the security of the border. Border Force was split from the <br>failing UK Border Agency in 2012 and re-established security as the priority. <br><br>Border Force adopts an intelligence-led approach to all of its customs <br>activity, including searching for firearms, so that resources can be deployed <br>as effectively as possible. This work is a key aspect of the Government’s <br>approach to tackling organised crime and countering terrorism. The National <br>Crime Agency and Border Force work tirelessly to target the criminal groups <br>behind smuggling.<br><br>The number of illegal firearms seized in each of the last two years is as <br>follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Number of firearms seized (units)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>283</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012/13</p></td><td><p>463</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The numbers of firearms seized at the border fluctuates on a yearly basis. This <br>can be attributed to a range of factors including the fact that organised crime <br>groups regularly change which countries they seek to smuggle weapons into. Any <br>changes in the numbers of firearms seized at the border does not mean there has <br>been a corresponding increase or decrease in the numbers that enter the UK <br>after not being detected at the border.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 17/03/2015 15:26:58 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
