answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2019 answer text <p>The Home Office does not collect data on the number of offences recorded by the police in England and Wales that were subject to digital disclosure of mobile phone data.</p><p>The guidance issued by the Director of Public Prosecutions to police and prosecutors is explicitly clear, that seeking to examine the mobile telephones of complainants and witnesses is not a matter of course, and there will be cases where there is no requirement for police to take a complainant’s media devices at all. It is crucial that only the reasonable lines of inquiry are pursued, to avoid unnecessary intrusion into a complainant’s personal life.</p><p>It is vital that victims of sexual offences feel empowered to come forward and receive the support they need to recover from the trauma of these crimes. They must not be deterred by a perception about how their personal information is handled. They can and should expect nothing less than that it will be dealt with in a way that is consistent with both their right to privacy and with the interests of justice.</p><p>The Information Commissioner’s Office is currently conducting an investigation into this issue. The police and CPS will continue to work with victim groups and the Information Commissioner’s Office to ensure their approach offers the necessary balance between the requirement for reasonable lines of inquiry and the victim’s right to privacy.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse grouped question UIN 5029 5030 question first answered 01/11/2019 11:58:05 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>The Home Office collects data from forces on the number of individuals released on pre-charge bail. The most recent statistics were published on 24 October 2019 <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-powers-and-procedures-england-and-wales-year-ending-31-march-2019" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-powers-and-procedures-england-and-wales-year-ending-31-march-2019</a>.
