The economic and social costs of crime (publishing.service.gov.uk)<\/a><\/p>This Government remains focused on reducing levels of crime, which is why we are recruiting an additional 20,000 police officers, investing £40 million in our work on county lines, £130.5 million on serious violence, and £70 million on neighbourhood crime. Specifically, these investments intend to target and bring to justice county lines gangs, fund enforcement activity in police force areas that see the highest levels of violent crime; as well as to improve public safety in communities who are disproportionately affected by acquisitive crime.<\/p>
Through our targeted activity, we will continue to work with partners to make real progress in reducing levels of crime, and in turn the associated costs it brings.<\/p>"}

There has been regular Ministerial and senior official level engagement with the Government of Ukraine and with our allies and partners on this issue. The Foreign Secretary and the Defence Secretary spoke to their Ukrainian counterparts on 2 April. The Prime Minister had discussions with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine on 5 April. Ukraine was also discussed at the 4-5 May G7 Foreign Ministers meeting. Most recently, I spoke to Deputy Foreign Minister Dzhaparova on 27 May regarding this and other issues. In all of these engagements, Ministers have made clear our deep concern over Russia's destabilising behaviour, including the build-up of military forces, and reiterated the UK's strong support for the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.<\/p>
We note Russian Defence Minister Shoigu's announcement on 22 April that Russian troops would return to their bases. We continue to monitor the situation and are working with international partners to continue to de-escalate and reassure all sides.<\/p>"}

The IEP contract led to Hitachi investing over £80million in a rail vehicle manufacturing facility in Newton Aycliffe in the North East, generating direct employment for over 700 people and many more in the wider local and national supply chain.<\/p>
<\/p>
It has also created opportunities for many new suppliers to access the rail industry leading to an investment of over £1.8bn in the UK supply chain since 2013.<\/p>
<\/p>
The opening of the factory has also created a legacy for future skills as Hitachi Rail became co-founders of South Durham University Technical College specialising in engineering skills for 14-18-year-olds.<\/p>

Decisions on the deployment of frontline police officers and their duties are for Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners and this includes decisions on crewing.<\/p>
This Government is ensuring the police have the necessary resources, tools and powers they need to keep themselves and the public safe. This includes the recruitment of an additional 20,000 additional police officers to bolster capacity and up to £15.8 billion of funding in 2021/22, an increase of up to £600 million compared to 2020/21.

Since the sale of Bombardier to Alstom, the Alstom team has been reviewing the production programme of the 701s in discussion with South Western Railway (SWR). This will establish when the first 701s will enter passenger service on SWR suburban lines, and at what rate the full fleet will be delivered. The new depot at Feltham is now operational in readiness for the arrival of the fleet.<\/p>
<\/p>
Six class 707 units have been cascaded to Southeastern; the remaining are planned to be cascaded in line with the sub-lease dates (July to October 2021), while the Class 455 and 456 units are all still on lease to SWR.<\/p>
