An evaluation of any gap created by this policy decision will be conducted in May 2020.</p><p>Following a recommendation from the Independent Office for Police Conduct in September 2019, DCC Mills wrote to all Chief Constables again, inviting them, if they had not done so before, to consider withdrawing PINs within their policing area with immediate effect. He also asked them, once PINs had been withdrawn, to satisfy themselves that PINs or their equivalent were not still being used by officers when responding to stalking and harassment offences.</p><p>As they are non-legislative tools, the Home Office does not collect information centrally on the number of PINs issued. Responsibility for the publication of information by a police force sits with the Chief Constable.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse grouped question UIN 290568 question first answered 30/09/2019 15:10:47 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

They are kept under review and strengthened whenever necessary to protect the public from the misuse of firearms. For example, the Offensive Weapons Act 2019 recently banned the manufacture and sale of rapid-firing rifles, owing to the serious threat they present should they fall into the hands of criminals or terrorists. Possession of such rifles will be banned following a surrender and compensation scheme later this year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 13/01/2020 17:09:50 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

Consideration of an applicant’s medical suitability is part of the assessment.</p><p>The Government consulted last year on the introduction of new statutory guidance to the police on their firearms licensing functions.
