The total number of communications data items processed by the Home Office each year since the enactment of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 is set out in the table below. <table><tbody><tr><td>Year</td><td>Number of requests processed</td></tr><tr><td>2002</td><td>53</td></tr><tr><td>2003</td><td>751</td></tr><tr><td>2004</td><td>360</td></tr><tr><td>2005</td><td>1373</td></tr><tr><td>2006</td><td>1078</td></tr><tr><td>2007</td><td>1220</td></tr><tr><td>2008</td><td>1028</td></tr><tr><td>2009 (Apr-Dec only)</td><td>796</td></tr><tr><td>2010</td><td>2813</td></tr><tr><td>2011</td><td>4032</td></tr><tr><td>2012</td><td>5020</td></tr><tr><td>2013</td><td>6056</td></tr></tbody></table> The operational directorates of the Home Office obtain communications data for the purpose of preventing and detecting crime as part of immigration and border functions as well as in anti-corruption investigations. In addition, it obtains the data in the interests of public safety and to prevent the escape of lawfully detained persons from the immigration detention estate. The figures for 2000 to 2008 represent the total number of communications data applications per year, rather than those that were approved, resulting in requests for communications data being made. Some of these applications were ultimately withdrawn, rejected by the designated person or cancelled before the data was acquired from the service provider. Figures for 2009 are only available for April to December of that year. Figures from 2010 to 2013 represent the number of communications data items that were applied for, authorised and obtained from service providers.

The Home Office is responsible for the legislative framework for the sex offender notification requirements, and the list of qualifying offences is kept under review. Convicted stalkers are already captured on the Police National Computer. The Home Secretary has established a National Oversight Group to ensure recommendations from HMIC’s Review into domestic abuse are acted upon. This includes work to improve data collection and data sharing on serial abusers. In addition, the Home Office consultation on strengthening the law on domestic abuse closed on 15 October. We are currently considering the responses and we will consider all of the issues raised in order to determine next steps to offer the best possible protection for victims.

The information requested falls within the responsibility of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority. I have asked IPSA to reply.Letter from Marcial Boo, October 2014:As Chief Executive of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking about IPSA's consultation on the staffing expenditure budget.IPSA last consulted the public and MPs on the composition of the staffing expenditure budget in November 2011. We asked on what basis we should calculate the staffing expenditure budget and whether we should take into account factors such as the relative deprivation of the constituency. The relevant consultation question received 45 responses, four of which mentioned interns. All of our public consultations and the responses are available on our website <a href="http://www.parliamentarystandards.org.uk/" target="_blank">www.parliamentarystandards.org.uk</a>Following the consultation, for 2012-13 we increased MPs’ staffing expenditure budgets by 19% for non-London Area MPs and 25 per cent for London Area MPs.We have reviewed the level of the staffing expenditure budget as part of subsequent annual reviews and further increased the budget by 1 per cent this year. For 2014-15 the budget is £138,600 for non-London Area MPs and £145,500 for London Area MPs.
