	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2018 answer text <p>Libya is a member of the Global Coalition against Daesh and, in coordination with our international partners, the UK has been working closely with the Libyan Government to tackle violent extremism in Libya and re-build those areas previously under Daesh control.</p><p><br>Daesh is losing in Libya. In December 2016, forces aligned to Libya’s Government of National Accord (GNA), with US Air Support, expelled Daesh from their main area of control – the city of Sirte. However, the group still remains a threat to Libya and was able to carry out a suicide attack on the Higher National Elections Commission in May 2018.</p><p><br>Daesh and other extremist groups will not be defeated completely until there is a strong national Government in Libya. The UK is supporting UN-led efforts to restore effective governance in Libya, which is key to the long term stability of Libya and the region. Last year the Government spent over £10m on stabilisation in Libya, including support to civil society organisations and local municipalities, and countering illegal migration and radicalisation. By supporting stability we are helping combat the drivers of violent extremism and terrorism in Libya.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 20/09/2018 13:59:51 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of reports made to Action Fraud have been reviewed by (a) a computer system and (b) a member of staff in each of the last three years for which figures are available.
	tabling member constituency	Oxford West and Abingdon

	uin	168181
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/09/2018 answer text <p>No reports are dismissed by a computer system. All reports submitted to Action Fraud are processed through an automated triage system that is designed to ensure that resources are targeted at those cases that have the most viable lines of enquiry. An automated process is required due to the large number of cases received (approximately 42,000 per month) to provide an efficient and effective response.</p><p>Crime reports to Action Fraud are assessed and triaged through the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) data analytics system which identifies links between seemingly unconnected fraud and cyber crime incidents from all over the country. Having received a report, the first phase of the crime assessment is automated using a computer based algorithm which scores the report’s suitability to be investigated against a number of criteria. This triaging ensures a consistent national approach to the assessment of fraud and cyber crime reports and effective targeting of resources. Some of these criteria include the victim’s vulnerability, whether the identity of the offender is known, if there is evidence available to support this (e.g. a confirmed bank account money has been paid to), or the volume of reports made about a specific offender. <br> <br>Reports with the highest viability scoring are then referred for further action by a crime reviewer. The crime reviewers will then undertake further work to identify whether there are sufficient lines of enquiry for the matter to be disseminated to law enforcement. Where opportunities for further action are identified, these crimes are referred to a local police force or other partner agency.</p><p>During the financial year 2017/2018 there were a total 294,984 reports. Of these reports 113,488 were both system and crime reviewer assessed, the remainder (181,496) were assessed solely by the automated system.</p><p>During the financial year 2016/2017 there were a total 280,706 reports. Of these reports 128,564 were both system and crime reviewer assessed, the remainder (152,142) were assessed solely by the automated system.</p><p>During the financial year 2015/2016 there were a total 234,201 reports. Of these reports 117,179 were both system and crime reviewer assessed, the remainder (117,022) were assessed solely by the automated system.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 25/09/2018 11:16:05 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace

Given the interactions between EU exit work and the Department’s other priorities, it would not be possible to give an accurate figure on how many new staff in the Home Office have responsibilities relating to exiting the EU.</p><p>Therefore, it would be at disproportionate effort to provide the cost for the recruitment of new members of staff relating to EU exit.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 26/09/2018 11:17:43 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
