Everyone who returns from taking part in the conflict in Syria or Iraq will be investigated by the police to determine if they have committed criminal offences, and to ensure that they do not pose a threat to our national security. Alongside criminal sanctions we have the power in certain circumstances, if appropriate, to mandate attendance in de-radicalisation programmes, which will provide intense mentoring and other kinds of support to challenge their beliefs, mitigate the risk and reintegrate them safely back into British society. Due to the sensitive nature of ongoing investigations and operations, we do not provide a breakdown of individuals of national security concern or the actions taken against them.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4311", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Williams of Trafford"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-11-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-11-17T11:08:26.933Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-11-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "British Nationals Abroad: Syria"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Williams of Trafford on 6 November (HL2663), of the 850 UK linked individuals of national security concern who travelled to engage with the Syrian conflict, what estimate they have made of the number who were affiliated with Daesh; and how many of those who have returned have been sent for de-radicalisation training.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/497", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Blencathra"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Blencathra"} ], "uin" : "HL2988"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/785841", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/785841/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

So called 'honour-based' violence, including Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and forced marriage, is a terrible form of abuse, and this Government is clear that we will not allow political or cultural sensitivities to get in the way of tackling it. Work to tackle these crimes is an integral part of our cross-Government Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) strategy, published last year.<\/p>

<\/p>

The NHS FGM Enhanced Dataset provides information on the number of women and girls with FGM who are being cared for by the NHS in England and has been published quarterly and annually by NHS Digital since 2014. A detailed breakdown of these statistics by local authority, age at which FGM was carried out and country where FGM was undertaken is available online at http://content.digital.nhs.uk/fgm<\/a>.<\/p>

The joint Foreign & Commonwealth Office and Home Office Forced Marriage Unit (FMU) operates a public helpline to provide advice and support to victims of forced marriage as well as to professionals dealing with cases. Statistics on the number of cases dealt with by the FMU are published annually, including a breakdown by region and age and are available online at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/forced-marriage#statistics-on-forced-marriage-collected-by-fmu<\/a>. The statistics are available for the region of London. However, they cannot be broken down into specific London boroughs for data protection reasons. For example, the number of cases from a specific borough may be low enough to allow a victim to be identified, and the FMU must safeguard those it supports.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4399", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Victoria Atkins"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Louth and Horncastle"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Victoria Atkins"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-04-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-04-11T09:42:26.147Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-11-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Female Genital Mutilation and Forced Marriage: Southwark"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the number of children under the age of 18 living in the London Borough of Southwark who have (a) undergone female genital mutilation in the UK, (b) undergone female genital mutilation abroad and (c) been subjected to a forced marriage in each of the last five years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/150", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Ms Harriet Harman"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Camberwell and Peckham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Ms Harriet Harman"} ], "uin" : "111921"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/786237", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/786237/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government is in regular dialogue with the police, including the National Police Chiefs\u2019 Council, to ensure that the right powers, capabilities and resources are in place across all areas of policing.<\/p>

The 2015 Spending Review settlement protected counter-terrorism policing spend until 2020-21, and included a significant capital increase to deliver growth of key counter-terrorist policing capabilities.<\/p>

In recognition of the pressures on policing following this year\u2019s terrorist attacks, the Home Secretary has already announced a further £24 million for counter-terrorism policing<\/p>


The Home Office is working closely with Greater Manchester Police and the National Counter Terrorism Policing Headquarters to identify and manage the cost of the immediate response to the recent attacks. This work is ongoing<\/p>


The Mayor of Greater Manchester has applied for Special Grant funding to support the financial consequences of the terrorist attack on the Manchester Arena, and this application is being considered<\/p>

It is for operationally independent Chief Constables to make decisions on the size, composition and deployment of the workforce including police community support officers, in line with local needs and priorities. Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) are elected by the public to hold Chief Constables and the force to account; making the police answerable to the communities they serve.<\/p>

The Government supports local policing through a variety of ways, such as; increasing workforce flexibility; supporting collaboration and investing in digital transformation programmes. The Home Secretary announced that £175m would be allocated to the Police Transformation Fund (PTF) for the 2017/18 financial year.
