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 UK has a proud history of providing protection to those who need it, in accordance with our obligations under the Refugee Convention and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).</p><p>All asylum claims lodged in the UK are carefully considered on their individual merits against a background of relevant case law and up to date country information. We ensure that claimants are given every opportunity to disclose information relevant to their claim before a decision is taken. Where an asylum claimant establishes a well-founded fear of persecution or serious harm in their country of origin, they are normally granted protection and are not expected to return there.</p><p>Asylum decision makers complete a number of variable events or activities which are weighted and used to calculate performance based on their time spent on casework. The cumulative weighting and total available time is used to calculate and report performance daily, weekly, monthly or for any specified period as required. There are no targets in respect of the number of grants or refusals which decision makers are expected to make each week.</p><p>Data on performance against the published service standard can be found on tabs Asy 10 and 11 at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/asylum-transparency-data-august-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/asylum-transparency-data-august-2018</a></p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 20/11/2018 17:13:05 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>111 women who were held at HMP Styal during the 2017-18 financial year had a reported North Wales address and are recorded as having children. The data from Prison-NOMIS, the system from which this information was obtained, only records if the prisoner has children (as of today) and does not state how old the children are or if they are dependents.</p><p>Our female offender strategy set out a dedicated approach to supporting female offenders and I am determined to build on this by shifting focus away from prisons to women’s centres with a range of support services, including for substance misuse and mental health problems.</p><p>We are investing an additional £5 million over two years on community provision so that, where appropriate, women are given the support they need to address their offending and turn away from a life of crime. Work is also ongoing to improve the quality pre-sentence reports to ensure that sentencers are made aware and can take account of whether an offender is a primary carer.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Note</strong>:</p><ul><li>North Wales has been defined as having a reported address within the local authorities of: Anglesey; Conwy; Denbighshire; Flintshire; Gwynedd; and Wrexham.</li><li>Around 97% of prisoners have an origin location - i.e. addresses that are recorded in our central IT system. If no address is given, an offender’s committal court address is used as a proxy for the area in which they are resident.</li><li>This information is included in the data provided in the answer above.</li><li>Those with no recorded origin are typically foreign nationals or those recently received into custody.</li><li>No address has been recorded and no court information is available for around 3% of all offenders; these figures are excluded from the figure above.</li></ul> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 20/11/2018 11:39:36 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

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
