David Cameron will this week call on Brussels to impose a Europe-wide ban on high-powered semi-automatic weapons in the wake of the Paris terror attacks.

The Prime Minister will also demand more extensive sharing of ballistics data, action to take more firearms out of circulation in the Western Balkans – the main source of arms for terrorists – improved alert systems to stop terrorists accessing material for explosives and greater border security.

Mr Cameron said: ‘We need to ensure that terrorists do not have the weapons with which they can wreak such tragedy.’

The Prime Minister’s demands to Europe come as Education Secretary Nicky Morgan draws up plans to give Ofsted the power to prepare prosecutions against unregistered Islamic schools that allow extremism to flourish.

Mrs Morgan said: ‘For a child to spend a single day in one of these schools is unacceptable, and we are acting swiftly and decisively to eradicate them.’
