answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/06/2015 answer text <p>Police reform is working and crime is falling. The independent Crime Survey for England and Wales shows that crime has fallen by more than a quarter since June 2010, with almost 2.5 million fewer crimes a year. Everyone now has a direct say in policing in their area, through their locally elected and accountable Police and Crime Commissioner. Since coming into post, PCCs have brought real local accountability to how Chief Constables and their forces perform. PCCs are also taking a lead role in driving collaboration between forces and with other emergency services to deliver more effective services and better value for money for the taxpayer. Beyond policing, PCCs have brought focus and drive to work with local partners on crime and criminal justice matters. Ultimately, it will be for the public to assess the performance of their Police and Crime Commissioner through the ballot box.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 02/06/2015 16:07:24 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/06/2015 answer text <p>The Portuguese approach to drugs was reviewed within ‘Drugs: International Comparators’ published in October 2014<em>.</em> The report is clear that the successes in Portugal cannot be attributed to decriminalisation alone. Whilst drug use went down and health outcomes improved, there was, at the same time, a significant investment in treatment.</p><p> </p><p>This Government has no intention of decriminalising drugs. The UK's approach on drugs remains clear: we must prevent drug use in our communities, help dependent individuals through treatment and wider recovery support, whilst ensuring law enforcement tackles the criminality that is associated with the drugs trade.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 01/06/2015 09:39:23 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

uin	96
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/06/2015 answer text <p>We know that passengers are concerned about the cost of fares. That is why we have capped regulated fares at the level of the Retail Price Index (RPI) for two years running, and will continue to do so for the life of this parliament. It is also why over the past two years we have reduced the level of non-cumulative ‘flex’, by which operators could in each year increase individual regulated fares above the permitted average, from the 5% introduced by Labour to 2% in 2014 and 0% in 2015, and will continue this 0% policy to stop operators increasing individual fares above the now permitted average level of RPI for the life of this parliament. The fares rise for January 2016 will be based on July 2015’s RPI. The cost to the Government of capping regulated rail fares at RPI+0% for the next five years is estimated to be around £700m (in nominal prices).</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry grouped question UIN 95 question first answered 03/06/2015 10:01:52 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
