answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/06/2015 answer text <p>Police reform is working and crime is falling. The independent Crime Survey for England and Wales shows that crime has fallen by more than a quarter since June 2010, with almost 2.5 million fewer crimes a year. Everyone now has a direct say in policing in their area, through their locally elected and accountable Police and Crime Commissioner. Since coming into post, PCCs have brought real local accountability to how Chief Constables and their forces perform. PCCs are also taking a lead role in driving collaboration between forces and with other emergency services to deliver more effective services and better value for money for the taxpayer. Beyond policing, PCCs have brought focus and drive to work with local partners on crime and criminal justice matters. Ultimately, it will be for the public to assess the performance of their Police and Crime Commissioner through the ballot box.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 02/06/2015 16:07:24 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/06/2015 answer text <p>The Portuguese approach to drugs was reviewed within ‘Drugs: International Comparators’ published in October 2014<em>.</em> The report is clear that the successes in Portugal cannot be attributed to decriminalisation alone. Whilst drug use went down and health outcomes improved, there was, at the same time, a significant investment in treatment.</p><p> </p><p>This Government has no intention of decriminalising drugs. The UK's approach on drugs remains clear: we must prevent drug use in our communities, help dependent individuals through treatment and wider recovery support, whilst ensuring law enforcement tackles the criminality that is associated with the drugs trade.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 01/06/2015 09:39:23 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
