A number of offences may involve the use of a computer or a network in the commission of the offence. To obtain details of the number of cases where defendants were alleged to have been involved in cyber or cyber-enabled crimes would require a manual review of individual case files to be undertaken which would incur a disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Mr Robert Buckland question first answered 08/09/2014 13:09:50 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

The Government has supported this with £860m of investment over five years through the National Cyber Security Programme (NCSP). We have so far committed £70m of NCSP funding in improving law enforcement agencies’ ability to respond to this threat, including setting up the National Cyber Crime Unit in the National Crime Agency, and cyber teams in each of the Regional Organised Crime Units. We are also supporting the training of police officers and investigators in local forces in England and Wales, through the development of new online and classroom-based training packages by the College of Policing for 5,000 officers.</p><p /> <p /> <p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 09/09/2014 15:24:35 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 18038 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530
