answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2019 answer text <p>Home Office and Treasury Ministers have regular discussions covering a number of issues including changes to pension schemes. In his Budget speech, the Chancellor committed to providing funding to support the po-lice with additional pensions costs.</p><p>On 13 December we announced our proposed police funding settlement for 2019/20 which provides up to £970 million of additional investment in the policing system. This includes £153 million of additional pensions funding, £161 million in increased general grants and up to £509 million of additional funding from council tax precept, if Police and Crime Commissioners use the full flexibility provided. This provides enough funding for the police to meet their increased costs, while continuing to recruit and fill capability gaps like the shortage of investigators.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 25/01/2019 17:06:30 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment his Department has made of the reasons for the decrease in charge and summons rates for crimes.
tabling member constituency	Sheffield, Heeley
tabling member printed	Louise Haigh
uin	187078
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>The likelihood of a crime resulting in a charge and summons can vary for several reasons. Improved crime recording by the police has resulted in increased caseloads and a changing crime mix. These include more complex crimes which take longer to receive an outcome, such as domestic abuse or sexual offences.</p><p>The Government recognises the impact that crime can have on its victims and we want offenders charged and brought to justice in the courts. It is the responsibility of Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners to make sure criminal cases are investigated properly and together with the Crown Prosecution Service, ensure cases are charged where there is sufficient evidence, and it is in the public interest to do so.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 08/11/2018 15:37:46 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
