answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>Although estimates of the cost of cyber crime vary considerably, there are millions of individual victims, many thousands of corporate victims and correspondingly substantial losses. Therefore, whilst there is no robust estimate of the total cost of cyber crime to the UK economy it is likely to be billions.</p><p>The Economic and Social Costs of Crime report (Home Office, 2018) estimated a cost of £1.1bn from computer misuse incidents against individuals in the financial year 2015/16. However, it should be noted that this estimate is based upon experimental statistics and should be considered as a partial estimate as it excludes some key costs, such as the costs to businesses.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 20/11/2018 17:21:58 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government values the role of Europol in helping law enforcement agencies coordinate investigations into serious and organised cross border crime and terrorism. That includes the European Counter Terrorism Centre (ECTC) which was set up in 2016 as an operations centre and hub of expertise for EU Member States at Europol. Since September 2017 the UK has embedded UK Police Officers within the ECTC and works closely with our European partners through the centre.</p><p>Information exchange between UK authorities and Europol is well-established and takes place on a daily and routine basis on a wide range of criminal activity. This includes information sharing to tackle the threat of terrorism and cooperation continues to assist UK efforts to tackle cross-border terrorist activity impacting on the UK.</p><p>We cannot comment specifically on the assistance that the Department has requested and received from the ECTC as this is operationally sensitive information.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 20/11/2018 17:46:14 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
