Mr. Lidington: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will make a statement on the agreement reached at the EU Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting on 27 March to introduce an EU-wide minimum prison sentence for counterfeiting the euro; what plans he has to implement that decision; what estimate he has made of the cost to public funds; and if he will make a statement; [118075] (2) if he will place in the Library a copy of the framework decision on the protection of the euro against counterfeiting discussed at the EU Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting on 27 March; [118068] (3) what were the accompanying measures aimed at supporting the objectives of the framework decision in respect of the criminal sanctions against counterfeiting of the euro, announced by Commissioner Vitorino at the EU Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting on 27 March; [118069] (4) what plans Her Majesty's Government have to make it a criminal offence in (a) England and Wales, (b) Scotland and (c) Northern Ireland to counterfeit the euro; and if he will make a statement. [118078] Mr. Boateng: I am placing in the Library a copy of the draft framework decision as deposited for Scrutiny. Article 6(2) of the draft framework decision provides that offences of fraudulent making, shall be punishable by terms of imprisonment, the maximum being not less than eight years. The maximum term of imprisonment already provided for these offences under existing United Kingdom legislation is 10 years. Article 6 of the framework decision will not, therefore, require new legislation or result in any additional costs. In all parts of the United Kingdom it is already a criminal offence to counterfeit any currency which is customarily used as money, including the euro. The Commission has indicated that it plans to bring forward a number of accompanying measures aimed at supporting the objectives of the framework decision in the area of judicial co-operation, exchange of information and training. The Commission hopes to make a formal proposal to this effect during the Portuguese Presidency.

Mr. Linton: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many crimes were (a) reported and (b) solved in England and Wales involving false documentation (i) in relation to motor vehicles and (ii) not related to motor vehicles for the years (1) 1995, (2) 1996, (3) 1997 and (4) 1998. [73084] Mr. Boateng: Recorded crimes which involve false documentation are included in fraud and forgery offences, but are not separately identifiable. Figures for all recorded fraud and forgery offences for 1995, 1996 and 1997 are as follows (1998 figures are not yet available): Fraud and forgery, England and Wales _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Year Number of offences Offences detected 1995 133,016 65,935 1996 136,225 67,080 1997 134,398 64,555 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Crimes involving false documentation in relation to motor vehicles are not included in the totals, as they were not notifiable to the Home Office before April 1998. However, the numbers of these crimes are being collected from 1 April 1998, and will be included in the statistical bulletin on notifiable offences which will be issued in October 1999.

Dr. Harris: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many persons were (a) arrested for and (b) charged with offences contrary to section 1 of the Criminal Attempts Act 1981 or section 3 of the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981 at (i) Heathrow Airport and (ii) Gatwick Airport in each financial year since 1993-94. [62390] Mr. Boateng: This information is not normally collected centrally. However, the Metropolitan police have been able to provide information on persons accused--that is, a count of persons arrested and subsequently proceeded against--and persons charged. The information relates to persons accused in the Heathrow division of attempting to commit a notifiable offence and those accused under section 3 and 4 of the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981. The information is shown in the table. The information for Gatwick airport is not available as this would incur disproportionate cost since manual searches through individual records would be required. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
