Fraud

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Answer of 24 April 2017 to Question 71197, on fraud, for what reasons the Government does not assess police spending on each area of demand.

Answer

Since 2010, we have sought to minimise the level of bureaucracy imposed on police forces, including through the collection of national data from forces. We have also introduced democratically PCCs to ensure resources are focused on local priorities. The Government is engaging with the police to better understand changes in demand.
