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

uin	187083
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2018 answer text <p>The social and economic cost of organised drugs supply to the UK is estimated to £20 billion for the financial year 2015/16. This is an increase of £9.3 billion compared to the previous estimate for the financial year 2010/11. This is due to:</p><ul><li>an increase in the unit costs used to estimate drug-related acquisitive crime;</li><li>an increase in the volume of drug-related deaths;</li><li>the inclusion of costs to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the National Crime Agency, and expenditure on media information activity;</li><li>the inclusion of non-legal aid defence spending in the costs to the criminal justice system for drug possession and supply offences and, to a lesser extent, the opportunity cost of jurors’ time,</li></ul><p>Given much of the change in cost is attributable to changes in methodology, the 2015/16 estimate is not directly comparable with the 2010/11 estimate. Most of the change should not therefore be interpreted as a worsening of the overall situation.</p><p>The Government’s new Serious and Organised Crime Strategy emphasises the importance of tackling the high harm networks supplying drugs and trafficking them across the border. We are taking action target the illicit finance that underpins their activities through cash seizures, asset forfeitures, money laundering prosecutions and civil or criminal recovery prosecutions.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 06/11/2018 17:10:11 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2018 answer text <p>As the Serious Organised Crime Strategy states, the Government has invested over £160m in uplifting the capabilities of ROCUs since 2013. This directly supports the significant and welcome investments made locally by Police and Crime Commissioners.</p><p>Since 2014/15, overall national investment in ROCU capabilities has increased year-on-year, reflecting the growing recognition from Chief Constables and PCCs of the vital role ROCUs play in tackling the threat from serious and organised crime in their local communities. According to police figures, in 2014/15, £87.4m was spent nationally on ROCU core capabilities, rising to £129.1m in 2017/18.</p><p>In 2017, around £40m of Government funding was announced to uplift a new generation of capabilities in ROCUs over the following three years. This further reflects the Government’s continuing commitment to ensuring the police have the capabilities they need to tackle the significant threat from serious and organised crime.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 06/11/2018 17:06:28 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
