I recently wrote to the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, my hon. Friend the Member for Tynemouth (Mr. Campbell) about the case of one of my constituents who was unfortunately burgled and was surprised that the burglars focused almost completely on taking jewellery and other gold. He believes, as do I, that this may have been prompted by the burgeoning of cash-for-gold adverts on our television screens and in our newspapers, often with no identification required to obtain money in exchange for gold. My hon. Friend helpfully replied that he was carrying out a review in this area. May I encourage him to involve trading standards officers in that work and to consider legislation as quickly as possible, perhaps even in the Crime and Security Bill?

The hon. Lady will know that there have been and continue to be pressures on the prison system. I was Prisons Minister at the time, and the early release scheme is a temporary measure, which is determined to ensure that we release individuals 18 days early. The reoffending rate on that is extremely low, but it obviously remains a matter of concern and is under review by my right hon. Friend the Justice Secretary, and will be ended as soon as practicable.

There has been a general drift towards increasing the number of community support officers as opposed to regular police officers. Although they perform a welcome role, they do not have the same powers as regular police officers, including the power to arrest. In the streets and rural areas of the Vale of York, we have seen an increase in antisocial behaviour. Will the Government now confirm that rather than pump-priming, they will ensure a regular supply of funding for community support and regular police officers in the Vale of York?

The information requested is given in the table.It should be noted that non-sanction detections which contribute to the overall detection rates have fallen in recent years reflecting a significant shift by many police forces away from recording detections where no further action is taken. For this reason overall detection rates over time are not fully comparable.The detection rate is a ratio of crime detected in a period to crimes recorded in a period. It is not based on tracking whether individual crimes recorded in a period have eventually been detected.

Home Office has had discussions on the use of section 27 powers in policing football operations with the ACPO lead on football matters. This provision is one of a number of operational tools available to chief police officers. This is a matter for local chief officers. Section 27 of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 makes clear that the powers should be used in a proportionate and appropriate manner.

Home Office expenditure covers funding for the employment of Neighbourhood Crime and Justice (NCJ) coordinators and supplementary spend against three evidence-based priorities to improve public confidence in how crime is tackled and justice delivered. These priorities are to"raise awareness and understanding of the public's entitlements from the police and other criminal justice agencies;""ensure that public services are taking action on the crime and antisocial behaviour issues that are local priorities for the public;""help demonstrate to the public that there are consequences for those who break the law."The NCJ grant provides funding for co-ordinators in 60 NCJ "Pioneer Areas". These are 60 Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRP) which were invited to become Pioneer Areas based on a range of indicators, including public perceptions of antisocial behaviour and confidence in local services, deprivation levels and population size.The specific official duties and terms and conditions of NCJ co-ordinators will vary according to the prevailing arrangements within each Pioneer Area. Information on average salaries and hours is not held centrally. They are directly employed by, and therefore responsible to, one of the organisations that comprise the local CDRP, typically the local authority.
