answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2018 answer text <p>How police record cyber crime on their systems is an operational matter for individual police forces.</p><p>Experimental statistics on offences recorded by the police in England and Wales which were flagged as “online crime” are published quarterly by the Office for National Statistics in the statistical bulletin Crime in England and Wales. The latest statistics, covering year to September 2017 can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/crimeinenglandandwalesexperimentaltables" target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/crimeinenglandandwalesexperimentaltables</a></p><p>Work is ongoing with forces to improve the quality of the data submitted in this collection. There are some large variations in the proportion of offences flagged by each force depending on crime type and there is anecdotal evidence to suggest that the flag is currently underused. Therefore, going forward, with improved identification of online related offences, the proportion of all offences flagged as being online related is likely to increase.</p><p>Furthermore, offences of cybercrime may be recorded by Action Fraud, the UK’s national fraud and cybercrime reporting centre. Cyber crime offences (also known as offences committed under the Computer Misuse Act) are recorded in accordance with Home Office counting rules under the relevant National Fraud Intelligence Bureau code.

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether the UK will be able to participate in the EU’s spectrum policy framework after the UK leaves the EU.
tabling member constituency	Newcastle upon Tyne Central
tabling member printed	Chi Onwurah
uin	125500
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2018 answer text <p>The European Electronic Communications Framework is currently subject to re-negotiation by Member States of the EU, renamed the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC). Spectrum management forms a part of this legislation. The UK, as a current member of the EU, is taking a full part in this re-negotiation. We anticipate that the EECC will be adopted by the EU prior to the UK leaving the EU. The Government’s white paper “Legislating for the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union” says that: “In order to achieve a stable and smooth transition, the Government’s overall approach is to convert the body of existing EU law into domestic law, after which Parliament (and, where appropriate, the devolved legislatures) will be able to decide which elements of that law to keep, amend or repeal once we have left the EU. This ensures that, as a general rule, the same rules and laws will apply after we leave the EU as they did before.”</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 02/02/2018 09:52:39 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

uin	125501
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2018 answer text <p>The Government is committed to securing the best deal for British consumers on UK exit from the EU. Two operators have committed publicly to continue surcharge-free roaming in the EU on UK exit. All mobile operators are in a competitive market. By the day of Exit, UK consumers will have had surcharge-free roaming in the EU and EEA for over two years. This will drive consumer expectation and behaviour. However, the future of the UK's roaming arrangements is inherently a cross-border issue, and is therefore subject to negotiations with the EU.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 02/02/2018 09:54:38 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
