A number of offences may involve the use of a computer or a network in the commission of the offence. To obtain details of the number of cases where defendants were alleged to have been involved in cyber or cyber-enabled crimes would require a manual review of individual case files to be undertaken which would incur a disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Mr Robert Buckland question first answered 08/09/2014 13:09:50 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>I have approached the Chief Executives of the Department’s Executive Agencies (Insolvency Service, Companies House, National Measurement Office, Intellectual Property Office, UK Space Agency, Ordnance Survey, Met Office, Land Registry and the Skills Funding Agency) and they will respond to the Rt Hon. Member directly.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We fully support those that choose to pay above the NMW when it is affordable to do so and not at the expense of jobs. In terms of affordability in the public sector, there are important considerations about the impact on public service delivery, which is why it’s important that decisions on pay are made by individual departments.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>On the basis of fairness and affordability the Secretary of State instructed the department to give the lowest paid contracted staff (including cleaners) an above inflation pay rise. From 1 April, the lowest paid contracted staff at BIS offices across the UK will be paid £7.85 per hour, up £1.40 or nearly 22% from the previous £6.45 per hour rate. This increase has restored and surpassed the real value of wages that had fallen in recent years. This also means that BIS contractors will be amongst the top 25% (upper quartile) of contractors across Whitehall and will benefit 252 employees across 81 sites in the UK.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Dunbartonshire answering member printed Jo Swinson question first answered 08/09/2014 13:53:39 answering member 1513 label Biography information for Jo Swinson attachment 1 file name Executive Agencies 20051.pdf title Replies from the Executive Agencies
