Any UK organisations who are involved in fundraising efforts for overseas institutions should rigorously check with local authorities in the relevant country as to whether the institutions are registered.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2018 answer text <p>In 2017, based on a sample of eight forces, the Home Office estimated that if all forces could achieve one hour per officer, per day of productivity benefits from mobile working, this could potentially free up the equivalent of 11,000 extra officers nationally. We are not planning to publish data from that work, as we are currently undertaking a wider audit which will give us a more comprehensive picture of the potential benefits of mobile working, based on a wider sample of forces. The findings of this more comprehensive audit will inform decisions on how policing can maximise gains from mobile digital working going forward.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 09/05/2018 16:37:16 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
