uin	209273
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2014 answer text <p>This Government has taken firm and far reaching action to reform the use of stop and search powers. In April, the Government announced reforms to the police’s use of stop and search to ensure that this measure is used fairly, effectively and with the support of local communities. When stop and search is misused, it is a waste of police time and undermines police and community relations, making the job of policing more difficult. The voluntary Best Use of Stop and Search Scheme, and other measures announced, are designed to reduce the number of stop and searches and promote the proper and effective use of this power. In addition, we are working to explore the possibility of quick and efficient stop and search data recording through the Emergency Services Mobile Communications Network, which will replace the national Airwave system from 2017. <br><br>This is in addition to action the Government took in 2011 to scrap bureaucratic recording of all stop and accounts and to reduce the number of items recorded from 12 to 7.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 15/10/2014 15:03:43 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2014 answer text <p>This Government takes recovery and enforcement of financial impositions very seriously and remains committed to finding new ways to encourage payment of impositions and to trace those who do not pay. This is why there has been a year on year increase in the amount of financial penalties collected over the last three years.</p><p> </p><p>HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) started to pilot the use of data from HM Revenue and Customs in fine collection in July 2014, albeit for a number of specifically targeted cases. It is not possible therefore to provide a meaningful estimate of the impact on collection rates at present; however HMCTS will be exploring ways to assess the impact of receiving the data over coming months.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 14/10/2014 13:56:40 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
