	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>There have been no specific discussions with the Police and Crime Commissioner <br>for Essex on incidents involving knives in Clacton. <br><br>The Best Use of Stop and Search Scheme was announced by the Home Secretary on <br>30 April 2014, and the intention is to launch the Scheme in the summer. The <br>Scheme aims to achieve greater transparency and community involvement in the <br>use of stop and search by the police and support a more intelligence-led <br>approach leading to better outcomes, particularly improving the stop and search <br>to arrest ratio.<br><br>Only 9% of the 1.2 million stop and searches that took place in 2011/12 led to <br>an arrest. The adoption of an intelligence-led approach to stop and search by <br>the Metropolitan Police in January 2012 coincided with a fall of a third in the <br>number of recorded stop and searches taking place between 2011/12 and 2012/13, <br>while the proportion of resultant arrests increased from 8% to 12%. Meanwhile <br>in the same period, offences recorded by the Metropolitan Police involving <br>knives or sharp instruments fell by 20%.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Ashford answering member printed Damian Green question first answered 09/07/2014 10:08:21 answering member 76 label Biography information for Damian Green
