	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not maintain a central record of offences recorded against crime types. However, the CPS does collect data which reports the number of prosecuted defendants allocated to twelve Principal Offence Categories which is collated in financial years.</p><p> </p><p>The tables in Annex A show the number of finalised prosecution outcomes by Principal Offence during each year from 2010-11 to 2017-18 in the West Midlands CPS Area and in England.</p><p> </p><p>During the 8 year period reported in the table, magistrates’ courts caseload has fallen by 31% and Crown Court caseload by 23% in the West Midlands Area, compared to falls of 47% and 34% respectively across England as a whole.</p><p> </p><p>Despite the falling caseload it is important to be aware that the types of cases prosecuted in the West Midlands and England have changed significantly in the period between 2010 and 2018. The CPS is prosecuting more serious and complex cases in the West Midlands Area as evidenced by a 46% rise in homicide (35% in England), a 34% increase in fraud and forgery (compared to a fall of 17% in England) and a 55% increase in sexual offences cases (26% in England). During this period, minor motoring cases have fallen by 67% in the Area with a similar fall reflected across England. This followed changes to the list of specified offences made in 2012 which transferred responsibility for prosecuting many low level motoring offences back to the police</p> question first answered 11/02/2019 11:35:40

	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not maintain a central record of Crown Court trials which resulted in a non-conviction outcome due to a prosecution failure to disclose evidence to the defence. This information could only be obtained by examining CPS case files, which would incur disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the work under the National Disclosure Improvement Plan, the CPS has introduced new data collection measures designed to monitor disclosure performance. These measures include all prosecutors now being required to confirm at the conclusion of every case that has been stopped after charge whether disclosure had a primary or contributory impact on the outcome. This will allow us to capture more data than ever before on cases in which disclosure does not ultimately cause the case to end but where it was a secondary factor, and will enable performance to be examined by police and prosecutors at local, regional and national level and to drive further improvements. The first set of this data will be published in due course.</p> question first answered 13/02/2019 16:36:07

	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>We do not hold data on property ownership by national citizenship. However the Government recognises that purchases of homes by residents not in the UK can contribute to inflating house prices. Foreign nationals making overseas purchases of UK property have made it more difficult for UK residents to purchase a home of their own. That is why HM Treasury are consulting on the details of a Stamp Duty land tax surcharge for foreign non-resident buyers. <br> <br> We continue to welcome overseas investment in the UK housing market which continues to make an important contribution towards the Government's target of building 300,000 homes per year by the mid 2020’s.</p> question first answered 15/02/2019 14:22:34

	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>Government is providing funding for the remediation of social residential buildings over 18 metres, owned by local authorities and housing associations. We are providing this funding because we want to make sure that local authorities and housing associations can focus their efforts on making their buildings safe without impacting negatively on other services, improvements to housing quality or new supply. This might include meeting the decent homes standard. 159 applications were received by 31 August deadline and assessed as part of the first tranche of applications, with funding allocated to 135 buildings. We expect to confirm the outcome of the remaining applications shortly.</p><p> </p> question first answered 13/02/2019 16:54:44
