PCCs are also required to produce an annual report at the end of each financial year to provide the public with an update on the progress which has been made in meeting the police and crime objectives contained within the plan and the victims and witness services that have been commissioned and provided (section 12 of that Act).</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 04/07/2017 10:28:10 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
