	answer	answer answer text <p /> <p>The National Mobile Property Register (NMPR) helps reduce the theft of mobile devices. There are clear benefits in ensuring that information entered on to the system is as timely as is practicable, however I am not aware of any assessment made as to the additional benefits of introducing real time information.</p><p /> <p><br>The existing Home Office held contract with the provider of NMPR is due to come to an end early next year, and we are working with Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs), police forces and others to agree the successor arrangements. As part of this process, it is anticipated that a review of benefits to date will be undertaken to inform any future requirements and business case. This will ultimately be for PCCs to determine.</p><p />

	answer	answer answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>Combating cyber crime is a core part of the National Cyber Security Strategy, <br>which is underpinned by the National Cyber Security Programme (NCSP) and £860 <br>million of investment over five years. The Government has so far committed £70 <br>million of NCSP funding to build law enforcement capabilities to tackle cyber <br>crime. This includes the establishment of the National Cyber Crime Unit in the <br>National Crime Agency (NCA), and cyber teams within each of the Regional <br>Organised Crime Units across England and Wales. <br><br>Almost every cyber crime investigation has an international element and as a <br>result the NCA has prioritised building partnerships with key international <br>partners to better tackle this common cyber threat. To this end, and as a <br>result of NCSP investment, the NCA has deployed a number of International <br>Liaison Officers overseas. The NCA, EU and other international partners (US, <br>New Zealand, Australia and Canada) have agreed common threats and goals which <br>are informing the development of a model for proactive global joint cyber <br>investigations. An example of this approach is the recent US-led investigation <br>into a serious malware threat which saw the UK, under Project TOVAR, play a key <br>role in the disruption of criminal infrastructure and prevention messaging to <br>UK to businesses and the public. Project DISPUTED is an NCA-led investigation <br>which targets the Shylock malware variant, a sophisticated system employed by <br>criminals to steal online banking credentials, targeting the UK banking sector <br>in particular. This is the first project of its kind for a UK law enforcement <br>agency and involves the NCA bringing together partners from across law <br>enforcementand the private sector, including the FBI, Europol and others.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

	answer	answer answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>The Home Office does not provide any direct funding to Research Councils for the purposes of non-animal tests or research, or tests or research involving animals as it performs predominately a regulatory function. Significant Government funding is deployed to encourage the development and uptake of non-animal tests, largely through the Department for Business, Innovation and Science.</p><p>The Home Office does however provide £250,000 per year to the National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs) to fund its activities, which include developing and promoting alternatives to the use of animals in research. Some research into non-animal methods requires the use of animals for validation and other purposes. It is therefore not possible to state definitively how much of this contribution has been used for the purpose of conducting non-animal tests or research, to fund tests or research involving animals, or for the purpose of promoting the uptake of alternatives.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
