On 2 February 2022, the Government published a total police funding settlement of up to £16.9 billion in 2022/23, an increase of up to £1.1 billion when compared to 2021/22.<\/p>

West Yorkshire Police\u2019s funding will be up to £541.9m in 2022/23, an increase of up to £31.1m compared to 2021/22. The Home Office does not allocate funding to individual constituencies. Decisions about the allocation of police resources locally, are a matter for Chief Constables and directly elected local policing bodies (including Police and Crime Commissioners, Mayors exercising with PCC functions and the London Mayor\u2019s Office for Policing and Crime).<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4507", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Horsham"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jeremy Quin"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-10-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-10-18T11:48:15.387Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-10-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Police: West Yorkshire"} , "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, how much funding her Department has provided (a) to West Yorkshire Police and (b) for policing in Wakefield constituency in the 2022-23 financial year.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4943", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Simon Lightwood"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wakefield"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Simon Lightwood"} ], "uin" : "63051"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1521972", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1521972/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Home Office collects and publishes data annually on the number of full-time equivalent police officers by function in the \u2018Police workforce, England and Wales\u2019 statistical bulletin, available here: Police workforce England and Wales statistics - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)<\/a><\/p>

These data are collected by Police Force Area only, and lower levels of geography, such as Parliamentary Constituencies or Metropolitan Boroughs are not collected.<\/p>

Data on the number of police officers by function in West Yorkshire Police, as at 31 March 22 are available in the Table F1 of the data tables that accompany the release here: Police workforce, England and Wales: 31 March 2022: data tables<\/a><\/p>

Some forces are not able to make a clear distinction between certain function subgroups and therefore record the majority of, or all, employees under the wider function. This is particularly apparent for \u2018Neighbourhood Policing\u2019. It is therefore recommended to refer to the wider function of \u2018Local Policing\u2019.<\/p>

The Government is committed to tackling and preventing anti-social behaviour (ASB). We know the serious impact that persistent ASB can have on both individuals and the wider community.<\/p>

We provided the police, local authorities and other local agencies with a range of flexible tools and powers that they can use to respond quickly and effectively to ASB through the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.<\/p>

It is for local areas to decide how best to deploy these powers depending on the specific circumstances. They are best placed to understand what is driving the behaviour in question, the impact that it is having, and to determine the most appropriate response.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4507", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Horsham"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jeremy Quin"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-10-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-10-18T11:51:49.887Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-10-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Anti-social Behaviour"} , "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 steps her Department is taking to help tackle anti-social behaviour.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4943", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Simon Lightwood"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wakefield"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Simon Lightwood"} ], "uin" : "63053"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1521974", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1521974/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government\u2019s ten-year Drug Strategy, From Harm to Hope,<\/em> sets out a whole system approach to reducing drug-related crime and it is through this strategy that we are mobilising a robust and innovative end-to-end plan which attacks every phase of the supply chain, undermining the business of drugs supply from source to street.<\/p>

This includes £300m of dedicated investment over three years to drive work on tackling drug supply, including £145m to bolster our successful County Lines Programme, which from the start of the Programme in 2019, up until April this year, has led to over 2,400 lines closed, over 8000 arrests, and more than 9,500 individuals engaged through safeguarding interventions.<\/p>

Police have also closed over 500 more lines so far since April 2022, bringing the total since 2019 to over 2,900. As part of this programme we are investing up to £5m over the next three years to provide specialist support to victims of county lines exploitation and their families.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4507", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Horsham"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jeremy Quin"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-10-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-10-18T11:53:34.1Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-10-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Drugs: Crime"} , "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 plans her Department has to tackle offences related to drug dealing.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4943", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Simon Lightwood"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wakefield"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Simon Lightwood"} ], "uin" : "63054"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1521028", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1521028/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We know that fraudsters will use any means they can, including through highly deceptive and sophisticated techniques, to trick people into handing over their hard-earned money. We recognise that for the most vulnerable this can be particularly stressful and damaging however, we are focused on stopping unscrupulous fraudsters in their tracks and supporting victims so they can recover and protect themselves going forward.<\/p>

Raising awareness and safeguarding victims will form a key part of the Government\u2019s forthcoming fraud strategy. We are already taking concrete steps to protect the most vulnerable victims:<\/p>
