answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2019 answer text <p>We are working to build the national picture of the nature and scale of child sexual exploitation by organised groups. Child sexual abuse and exploitation are under-reported crimes, which means it is challenging to develop accurate assessment of the number of victims. However, best estimations in-dicate that approximately 5-15% of children have experienced child sexual abuse in their lifetime.</p><p>We have introduced new requirements for the police to record information re-lating to these offences which, along with the establishment of a new na-tional Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse, will help us to build a more informed picture of the scale of these crimes and the best ways to tackle and prevent them in the future.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 05/02/2019 14:20:56 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2019 answer text <p>Home Office and Treasury Ministers have regular discussions covering a number of issues including changes to pension schemes. In his Budget speech, the Chancellor committed to providing funding to support the po-lice with additional pensions costs.</p><p>On 13 December we announced our proposed police funding settlement for 2019/20 which provides up to £970 million of additional investment in the policing system. This includes £153 million of additional pensions funding, £161 million in increased general grants and up to £509 million of additional funding from council tax precept, if Police and Crime Commissioners use the full flexibility provided. This provides enough funding for the police to meet their increased costs, while continuing to recruit and fill capability gaps like the shortage of investigators.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 25/01/2019 17:06:30 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
