The shellfisheries in the Wash are managed by the Eastern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (IFCA) through a combination of the Wash Fishery Order 1992 Regulations and local IFCA Byelaws. This includes the introduction of closed seasons, gear restriction and the use of permits to control access to certain fisheries. This is in addition to EU and UK regulations. The IFCA officers also work closely with Marine Management Organisation officers on enforcement operations within the Wash area.<\/p>

In the last 12 months Defra has received two emails from two different individuals regarding cockle fishing methods. The correspondents asked for confirmation that the use of hydraulic dredging for cockle fishing is legal and to express their support for hand-raking methods of cockle fishing. Officials responded to both individuals and advised them to contact the local Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (IFCA) which is responsible for managing the inshore area (1-6 nautical miles) around the English coast. Officials also made the local IFCA aware of both emails. In addition, I will be responding shortly to correspondence I have received expressing concerns on behalf of the commercial cockle fishermen from King's Lynn, Norfolk.<\/p>

The Farming and Forestry Improvement Scheme was reviewed at the end of February and revised to offer support to rural businesses affected by flooding.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The scheme now funds additional items, such as pumps, that will help businesses to become more resilient to future flooding. It also offers an increase in grant rates.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Applications from those affected by flooding are being prioritised and the deadline for applications has been extended.<\/p>

It is vital that recorded crime statistics are as robust as they can possibly be, and the Government has a strong record on reinforcing their independence and accountability.
The Home Office transferred responsibility for publishing them to the Independent Office for National Statistics and have made more crime data available to the public on street-level crime maps. My Rt. Hon. Friend the Home Secretary has also written to chief constables emphasising that the police must ensure that crimes are recorded accurately and honestly. Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary is inspecting the quality of crime recording in every force in England and Wales, and will report back later this year. We look forward to the interim report this month.<\/p>

The Home Office does not collect data on expenses claimed by Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs).
Under paragraph 1 (d) of Schedule 1 of the Elected Local Policing Bodies (Specified Information) Order 2011 PCCs are obliged to publish "the allowances paid to each relevant office holder in respect of expenses incurred by the office holder in the exercise of the body's functions".
Article 1(2) of the Elected Local Policing Bodies (Specified Information) Order 2011 PCCs defines "relevant office holder" as, where the elected local policing body is a police and crime commissioner, the commissioner and any deputy police and crime commissioner appointed by the commissioner.<\/p>
