question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much funding the Government made available to fire and rescue authorities over the last five years; how much such funding the Government plans to make available to such authorities over the next five years; and what assessment her Department has made of the effect of changes in levels of funding over the next five years on each fire and rescue authority area.

uin	37552
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2016 answer text <p>Like all other local authorities fire and rescue authorities have had to play their part in reducing the national deficit. Fire and rescue services have coped well with savings to date: the numbers of incidents and fire deaths and injuries have all fallen to an historic low. The 2013 Knight Review provided clear evidence of the scope for fire and rescue authorities to make further efficiencies.</p><p>The table below shows the funding provided to single-purpose fire and rescue authorities.</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="2"><p><strong>Single purpose Fire and Rescue Authorities Funding </strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2011-12</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£0.996 bn</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2012-13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£1.014 bn</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2013-14</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£1.083 bn</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2014-15</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£1.005 bn</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2015-16</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£0.917 bn</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2016-17</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£0.869 bn</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>County councils that include fire and rescue services will decide for themselves how to fund those services. However, we expect that county councils in this position will ensure that their fire and rescue services are able to maintain the same quality and breadth of services as single purpose authorities.</p><p>In 2013-14 the Government introduced a new funding system for local government. Under this system the sector retained 50% of business rates. It is therefore inappropriate to compare these amounts over time due to differences in the way that funding was provided in each year.</p><p>For the first time ever, the Government offers the opportunity of financial certainty for fire and rescue authorities, with the offer of a firm four-year settlement in return for robust efficiency plans.</p><p>Indicative funding allocations for 2017-18 to 2019-20 can be found at:</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/498722/Key_info_for_local_authorities.xlsx</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 26/05/2016 15:27:16 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2016 answer text <p>Whenever national football or club teams from England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland play a match outside of the UK, an assessment is made as to whether a UK police delegation can be useful to the host nation’s policing operation. However, the decision to request UK police officers rests with the relevant host nation. Similarly whenever national football teams or club teams from England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland host a match against a foreign club or national team, an assessment is made by the police and this will include whether they would welcome support from the relevant police force. Such consideration can also be given to other sporting events, but it is mainly applicable to football matches. We do not hold the specific detail asked for in the question.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 23/05/2016 13:16:37 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2016 answer text <p>Resourcing is an operational matter for individual Chief Constables. We have prioritised child sexual abuse as a national threat in the Strategic Policing Requirement to empower police forces to maximise specialist skills and expertise to prevent offending and resolve cases. This means that police forces must have in place the capabilities they need to protect children from sexual abuse.</p><p>In 2015/16 the Government provided an additional £10 million to the National Crime Agency to create specialist teams to tackle online child sexual exploitation. We have also made available £1.7 million to fund Operation Hydrant, which coordinates the handling of multiple non-recent child sexual abuse investigations specifically concerning institutions or persons of public prominence, and up to £1.5 million to support regional coordinators and analysts to oversee the implementation of the National Policing Plan for tackling child sexual exploitation.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 12/05/2016 09:24:13 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
