	question text	Her Majesty's Government how many safer neighbourhood teams have been operational in England and Wales in each year since they were first introduced.
	tabling member printed	Lord Wigley
	uin	HL260
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2017 answer text <p>The number of full time equivalent police officers and PSCOs primarily employed in Neighbourhood Policing teams and/or Safer Neighbourhood teams roles can be found in the data tables published alongside the annual the ‘Police workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletins, which can be accessed here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-workforce-england-and-wales" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-workforce-england-and-wales</a></p><p>Officers and PCSOs with multiple responsibilities or designations are recorded under their primary function. The data do not therefore provide a complete picture of all officers assigned to neighbourhood policing functions.</p><p>Some forces are not able to make a clear distinction between ‘Neighbourhood Policing’ roles and ‘Incident (Response) Management’ roles, therefore those forces record the majority of, or all, employees under just one function. A more reliable measure is the number of officers employed in ‘Local policing’ roles, which includes both neighbourhood and response functions. This measure is available for 2015 and 2016, but not for previous years where a different framework was used.</p><p>Any comparisons at force level should be made with care due to collaboration arrangements between forces for particular functions. Additionally, police functions data are often affected by re-structuring within police forces. Therefore comparisons over time for specific functions should be made with care.</p><p>Data as at 31 March 2015 and 31 March 2016 can be found in the Tables F1, F3 F4 and F6 of the police workforce statistics published in July 2016: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/544954/police-workforce-tabs-jul16.ods" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/544954/police-workforce-tabs-jul16.ods</a></p><p>Previous data were collected under a different framework, with different definitions, and are therefore not directly comparable with data as at 31 March 2015 or 2016. Data have been published since 2012, and can be found in the supplementary data tables of the relevant police workforce publications via the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-workforce-england-and-wales" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-workforce-england-and-wales</a></p><p>As HMIC has made clear, there is no simple link between police numbers and crime levels, between numbers and the visibility of police in the community, or between numbers and the quality of service provided.</p><p>Decisions on the size and composition of the police workforce are operational matters for Chief Officers working with their Police and Crime Commissioners and taking into account local priorities. The next release of ‘Police workforce’ statistics is due to be published on 20<sup>th</sup> July, and will represent the picture as at 31 March 2017.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 13/07/2017 13:47:07 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford attachment 1 file name Table - HL260.xlsx title Table - HL260

	tabling member printed	Lord Wigley
	uin	HL2441
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2016 answer text <p>At present, the UK remains in the EU and there have been no immediate changes to the rights and obligations that membership entails. This means that EEA, Swiss and UK nationals continue to have the same rights and status that they had before the referendum.</p><p>The Prime Minister has been clear that a practical solution in the interests of all parts of the UK should be found to manage the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland once the UK has left the EU. Senior Officials from the UK, Ireland and Northern Ireland are working closely to consider the implications of the UK’s exit from the EU on the Common Travel Area (CTA). The CTA arrangement predates the EU and leaders in the UK and Ireland have been unequivocal –both want to maintain the current arrangement.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 15/11/2016 17:58:02 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
