answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2019 answer text <p>In April 2018 the Government published the Serious Violence Strategy which sets out our analysis of the risk and protective factors for involvement in serious violence.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2014 answer text <p>Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) are held accountable by the most effective check on any politician: the ballot box. This democratic power did not exist before 2012, when we replaced invisible, unaccountable police <br>authorities with directly elected PCCs. Under the old system, the public had no say in who served as a police authority chairman or member and more than 5.8 million votes have been cast for PCCs since their introduction.<br><br>The rules on the dismissal of a PCC are stronger than those for similar directly elected roles, such as MPs. Police and Crime Panels hold the power to suspend a PCC charged with an offence which carries a maximum sentence above <br>two years imprisonment. Any PCC found guilty of an imprisonable offence (whether or not a custodial sentence is handed down) is immediately disqualified from holding office.<br><br>The Home Secretary has said that there is a debate to be had on the issue of PCC recall, and the Government will listen carefully to the views of the Home Affairs Select Committee, of Parliament, and of the public more generally, and <br>will reflect upon these views.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 05/12/2014 14:10:44 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

uin	207268
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p>This year, Border Force increased the number of e-passport gates at Stansted from 5 to 15 which allows for a more efficient flow of passengers through the primary arrivals control. Alongside this, Border Force is working closely with Stansted Airport to reduce queues and improve the passenger experience. It has increased the number of Border Force officers at the port, including seasonal workforce to deal with the large volumes of passengers through the summer; introduced a new resourcing tool using live arrivals data and transit times to schedule the right number of officers at passport control for each flight; improved signage; and introduced a new style queuing system which feeds to multiple desks and allows for a continuous movement of passengers. <br><br>According to Border Force data, the performance at Stansted has been consistently above service level agreements throughout the summer, and has shown significant further improvement since the introduction of the new eGates on 15 August in time for the August Bank Holiday weekend (the busiest weekend of the year). The targets are to clear 95% of passengers within 25 minutes for EU/EEA nationals, and 45 minutes for non EU/EEA nationals.</p><p /> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 11/09/2014 17:01:54 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
