answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises the particularly invasive nature of burglary and the impact that it can have on people’s lives. This is why we encourage all victims to report these crimes to the police, and we expect the police to take all such reports seriously, to investigate and, where appropriate, bring offenders to court so that they can receive appropriate punishment.</p><p>It is, however, for Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners, as operational leaders and elected local representatives, to decide how best to deploy resources to manage and respond to individual crimes and local crime priorities.</p><p>The police have the resources they need to carry out their vital work. We have provided a strong and comprehensive funding settlement that is increasing total investment in the police by over £460 million in 2018/19.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 30/10/2018 16:30:53 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2018 answer text <p>The UK continues to lead international efforts to prevent terrorist use of the internet. In the UK, the Metropolitan Police Service’s Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU) refers content to online platforms that is assessed to contravene those platforms’ terms and conditions. Following referrals from CTIRU, online platforms have removed over 300,000 pieces of terrorist-related material since its inception in February 2010.</p><p><br>This successful model was replicated within the EU as a response to the international nature of the online threat. The UK was instrumental in the formation of the European Union Internet Referral Unit (EU IRU), which went live in July 2015 following the Charlie Hebdo attacks. The EU IRU is one initiative of the European Counter-Terrorism Centre, part of Europol.</p><p><br>The UK continues to work closely with the EU and other international partners to push industry to take a more proactive approach to detecting and removing terrorist content from their platforms. The UK and the EU IRU share information, evidence and best practice on an ongoing basis to prevent terrorist use of the internet.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 29/10/2018 16:49:45 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2018 answer text <p>The UK did not opt in to Directive 2017/541 on combating terrorism. UK effec-tiveness on combating terrorism and countering travelling for the purpose of terrorism, as referred to by Article 9 of Directive 2017/541 is not governed through this EU legislation.

uin	181534
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2018 answer text <p>INDECS (the Home Office Immigration and Nationality Department Electronic Computer system) held LC (landing cards) information for arriving passengers at UK ports of entry given check out conditions on arrival (codes 1-4) since 1980. On 14 April 1998, ports ceased to endorse passports or issue/collect embarkation cards on passengers' departure from the UK. These were then made available through the Case Information Database (CID).</p><p>CID was delivered through a phased rollout that was initiated with Asylum cases and was then subsequently rolled out to cater for settlement, enforcement and nationality case working processes as well as assisting Borders. CID has been the source immigration case working system for UKVI since 1998, over this time however the department has digitised application routes through a web-based service called Access UK and are in the process of replacing CID functionality with a new product named ATLAS. Please note that paper files are used alongside these systems to aid case working processes</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 29/10/2018 17:42:18 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
