Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions she has had with ONS on the publication of data on types of offences involving air weapons and whether an offence resulted in injury, for each year since 2015-16.

There have been no ministerial discussions with the Office for National Statistics (ONS) around the publication of data on types of offences involving air weapons.

Home Office statisticians have regular discussions with ONS colleagues about the content of crime statistics and will raise this issue with ONS.
