	answer	answer answer text <p>Ministerial responsibility for the National Crime Agency sits with the Home Office. In Northern Ireland, the Northern Ireland Policing Board has a statutory duty to monitor the exercise of the functions of the NCA in Northern Ireland and has a Memorandum of Understanding with the NCA to support this. The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland receives regular reports from the Director General of the NCA which outlines their performance and activity in Northern Ireland. I am pleased the NCA collaborates closely with law enforcement partners in Northern Ireland to tackle serious and organised crime.</p> question first answered 21/11/2018 12:47:17 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose

These orders, and several other elements of the Criminal Finances Act 2017, relate to devolved matters. The Security Minister gave a commitment to Parliament not to commence any CFA provisions affecting devolved matters until legislative consent is secured. This is one of the many issues that demonstrate that devolved government is in the best interests of everyone in Northern Ireland.</p> question first answered 29/11/2018 16:23:12 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose

	answer	answer answer text <p>Devolved Territory City Deals are locally developed proposals to address specific regional economic challenges that result in long term funding commitments jointly from UK Government, Devolved Government and local partners such as the Councils and Universities. The intention is that the initiatives taken forward will lever in significant private sector investment and deliver step changes in local economic productivity and growth.</p><p>This Government has committed to a comprehensive and ambitious set of city deals across Northern Ireland and at Autumn Budget, the Chancellor announced a £350 million for a Belfast City Region Deal to boost investment and productivity, generating jobs, growth and prosperity, alongside the opening formal negotiations for a Derry/Londonderry and Strabane City Region Deal.</p><p>The Belfast Region have estimated that their growth proposals could deliver almost 20,000 jobs, with an annual GVA impact of £470million and create a Belfast Region that is not just self-sufficient but a driver for a rejuvenated NI economy. Proposals for the Derry/ Londonderry and Strabane City region deal are currently under development by local partners and will also include an assessment on their potential effect on the economy of Northern Ireland.</p><p> </p> question first answered 07/12/2018 13:04:31 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose

As the Secretary of State has said, we do not believe that holding an election during this time of significant change and political uncertainty would be helpful or would increase the prospects of restoring the Executive.</p><p> </p><p>That is why the NI (Executive Formation and Exercise of Functions) Act provides for a limited period during which there is no legal requirement to call a further election and during which an Executive may be formed at any time. This will provide the time and space needed to work with the parties towards a further phase of talks to restore the Executive.</p> question first answered 10/12/2018 11:19:03 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose

The Department has restructured its approach to the way it handles EU exit work, moving from an initial central EU exit co-ordinating team of 7 to the current position where EU exit work is distributed widely across the whole department. Many of the same staff spend a proportion of their time preparing for leaving the EU (a) with and (b) without a deal. Those proportions vary continuously over time.

Where staff spend some or all of their time working on EU Exit, this includes work to prepare for all potential exit scenarios, including no deal.

The Offensive Weapons Bill aims to tackle knife crime, through measures including the introduction of Knife Crime Prevention Orders, which will give the police additional powers of intervention in dealing with young people who are most at risk of being involved in knife crime. The Rt hon Member will be aware that in Northern Ireland, knife crime is a devolved matter, and is the responsibility of the Department of Justice. My officials continue to support constructive engagement on the Bill with officials in the Devolved Administration.</p> question first answered 21/02/2019 10:43:43 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose

	answer	answer answer text <p>I can confirm there is currently one apprentice employed in the Department which accounts for 2% of the London staff. Although slightly under the public sector target of 2.3%, this is due to two apprentices completing their apprenticeships during 2018. A further three apprentices have recently been recruited, which will bring the proportion of apprentices in the department to 6%.</p> question first answered 25/02/2019 11:10:43 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose
