	answer	answer answer text <p><del class="ministerial">I welcome the swift action taken by the National Police Chiefs’ Council and Association of Police and Crime Commissioners’ to manage the administration of Key Forensic Services (KFS), minimising the impact on the criminal justice system and protecting the evidence for live cases. With Home Office support, they reached an agreement with the Administrators to ensure that the business continues to operate so that evidence KFS holds continues to be properly and professionally managed in accordance with the standards set by the Forensic Science Regulator.There are no plans to reopen the Forensic Science Service.</del></p><p><ins class="ministerial">The Government has not undertaken an assessment of the effect of rural crime on residents and businesses in Barnsley East. The independent Crime Survey for England and Wales continues to show that, for those crimes covered by the Survey, people in rural areas are less likely to be the victims of crime than those in urban areas. The 2015 Commercial Victimisation Survey also showed that 24 per cent of agriculture, forestry and fishing premises in England and Wales, had experienced at least one incident of crime (excluding online crime) which represented a statistically significant fall of six percentage points compared with the 2013 Survey.</ins></p> question first answered 05/03/2018 19:32:12 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

	answer	answer answer text <p>Collaboration is a key tool in helping the police become more responsive, more efficient and more effective at tackling crime. Police and Crime Commissioners and Chief Constables now have a statutory duty to consider and review collaboration agreements with other forces. The Government, through the police transformation fund, has also invested in collaborative projects as well as funding to champion a better understanding of crime in rural areas.</p><p>The election of Police and Crime Commissioners has given communities, including those in rural areas, a strong voice in determining how police resources are allocated to tackle the crimes that matter most to them.</p> question first answered 10/07/2017 16:31:21 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
