This Government is committed to tackling the threat posed by the illegal trafficking and misuse of firearms. This includes making it harder for criminals to access blank firing weapons and preventing these devices being converted for criminal use.<\/p>

Under the Firearms Act 1968, for anyone other than a registered firearms dealer, it is an offence to convert blank firers to lethal purpose.<\/p>

The Home Office works closely with the National Crime Agency to reduce the threat posed by converted blank firearms. This includes reviewing relevant legislation, working with manufacturers to make blank firearms harder to covert, and supporting police forces to tackle the threat from converted blank firearms.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4503", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chris Philp"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Croydon South"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Chris Philp"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-01-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-01-24T16:29:23.42Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-01-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Handguns"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps he is taking to help prevent the conversion of handguns that are designed to fire blanks into guns which can fire live rounds.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/350", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir John Hayes"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Holland and The Deepings"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Sir John Hayes"} ], "uin" : "9734"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1174243", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1174243/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Carbon emissions displaced by renewable electricity generation have been calculated as renewable electricity generation multiplied by the average emissions factor for electricity supplied by fossil fuel stations in 2014. A breakdown of electricity generation for the UK countries can be found in Energy Trends table ET 6.1 at:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/energy-trends-section-6-renewables<\/a><\/p>

Carbon dioxide emissions factors for electricity supplied can be found in table 5D of the Digest of UK Energy Statistics, 2015, available at:<\/p>

Information on the carbon savings from the total renewable heat produced in the UK is not available. Chapter 6 of the Digest of UK Energy Statistics provides more information on renewable heat, and shows that 2,730 ktoe of renewable fuels were used to generate heat in 2014.
