Mr. Denham: Over 220,000 members of the public and staff and around 100 national and local organisations responded to our
consultation exercise. Their comments and ideas have now been analysed, together with the detailed work of the modernisation action
teams and the more in-depth public involvement strategy. All this has culminated in the National Health Service National Plan which
will be presented to the House later this week.

Mr. Jim Cunningham: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will provide further details about the additional
money for fighting crime, which was announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his Budget Statement on 21 March; and if he will
make a statement. [116484]
Mr. Straw: As a result of the funding decisions outlined in the Budget statement, there will be a significant injection of £285
million for tackling crime and the causes of crime. This comprises capital modernisation funding of £185 million for a range of
projects and a £100 million fund for modernising policing, of which around £91 million is for England and Wales and £9 million is
for Scotland. £14 million of expenditure under the capital modernisation fund has been previously announced in respect of DNA. The
rest represents new money.
This funding will be used to step up the fight against crime in four key areas. It will speed up the recruitment of new officers;
create more opportunities for local partnerships to tackle crime and disorder; provide further scientific and technological support
to increase their effectiveness; and will develop and modernise the Criminal Justice System.
Crime Fighting Fund
The first deployment of resources from the £91 million fund for modernising policing will be utilised to enhance the crime fighting
fund. Under the crime fighting fund, police forces have been allocated their shares of the 5,000 additional recruits over the next
three years. This programme will now be brought forward with the aim of delivering all 5,000 within two years. Doubling the number
to be recruited during the coming financial year will cost in the region of £11 million, above and beyond the £35 million which has
already been provided for the current allocation. A further significant portion of the new £91 million funding will be used to
assist the Metropolitan Police and other forces which are having particular difficulties with recruitment and retention, including
the development of a national police recruiting campaign.
Partnerships
This new fund will also be an important contributor to strengthening the services which the police deliver including cutting crime.
In that context, I will also want to look closely at the resources available to support the work with which the police are involved
on local partnerships for tackling crime. In particular, I want to look at the resources to deal with local problems of anti-social
behaviour, to improve information sharing between partner agencies, and to provide more effective training in the development and
implementation of local crime reduction strategies. One specific new development in this area is that capital modernisation fund
monies will provide £950,000 to Operation LION. This is a programme being piloted in London which will encourage the development of
integrated strategies to reduce crime and improve community safety.
Police--Science and Technology
The capital modernisation fund will also boost the programme of work we already have in hand to roll out the latest and best in
science and technology to the Police Service.
We shall be applying £40 million of new capital modernisation funding, together with £6 million already set aside, to roll out a new
suite of information technology applications to support police operations as part of the national strategy for police information
systems. The new systems, one on case preparation, the other for custody suites, will reduce considerably the burden of paperwork
and bureaucracy, releasing police manpower to their primary duties. These projects will also be at the heart of a network of
information technology systems connecting the criminal justice system and improving the efficiency of the whole process.
We are also using £25 million of the capital modernisation funding to establish a new Government technical assistance centre (GTAC).
GTAC will enable us to respond to the threat to public safety from criminal use of encryption and will provide law enforcement
agencies with the capability to derive intelligence and evidence from new information and communication technologies. It will make a
difference between serious crime being prevented or punished and criminals going unpunished and free to continue their activities by
providing techniques for lawful interception of modern multimedia communications. It will also improve facilities for deriving
evidence from lawfully seized computer data.
The programme to expand the national database of criminal DNA profiles, which the Prime Minister announced last September, will also
start delivering on 1 April. The capital modernisation funding includes £14 million specifically for the DNA database, as part of
the £34 million envelope of funding for the DNA project which has already been announced.
A further £21 million has been allocated for the roll out of equipment to police forces for the video recording of interviews with
suspects. The full roll out is subject to the evaluation of an initial pilot scheme and the necessary parliamentary legislation. But
in principle, video taping will offer the prospect of an end to disputes in court about what actually happened during police
interviews and thus deliver fairer administration of justice.
Another significant project using the latest technology will receive funding to help the fight against property crime. £4.5 million
is being provided to develop the electronic `chipping' of goods. These electronic data tags will assist police officers or
investigators in identifying and recovering stolen merchandise and be a powerful deterrent to would-be thieves, not only by
increasing the risk of being caught but by making it more difficult for them to find purchasers of stolen merchandise.
Modernising and Developing the Criminal Justice System In addition to investing in science and technology for the police, the extra
resources announced in the budget will provide additional investment right across the criminal justice system. The aim is to help
modernise the system as a whole and to deliver a more joined-up approach to tackling crime. It will also help to deliver the modern
service that the public is entitled to expect from the criminal justice system. The new capital investment includes the following.
Video links: £5.3 million to allow the innovative use of video conferencing technology to allow vulnerable or intimidated witnesses
to give evidence remotely and also to allow defendants remanded in custody to take part in preliminary court hearings without
leaving prison. This will build on the existing pilot schemes for video links between courts and prisons in Bristol and Manchester.
Post release hostels for prisoners after drug treatment: £5 million to allow the establishment of post release support for prisoners
who have served sentences of up to a year and have drug misuse as well as housing problems. This will help in reducing re-offending
by a group of high risk offenders.
Restructuring the prison estate: an investment of £40 million to modernise the prison estate. This will enable a start to be made on
a programme to provide additional prison capacity. It will include creating additional capacity in existing prisons and converting
spare capacity in open prisons as a result of the success of the home detention curfew into closed conditions.
Joining up criminal justice system information technology systems: £1.48 million to provide a central resource for the criminal
justice system integrating business and information systems (IBIS) initiative. This will be used to ensure that criminal justice
service and agency information technology systems are developed so as to allow inter-operability between them. Inter-operability
will support the fast access to information to the key business areas in the criminal justice system, from preparing cases through
the court process to serving sentences.
Criminal justice units: £5 million to enable the Crown Prosecution Service to invest in the infrastructure needed for new joint
Crown Prosecution Service/police criminal justice units. These will lead to improved quality and timeliness of prosecution files,
involve closer and better working relationships so as to eliminate the duplication of tasks, and will improve the handling of
criminal justice casework and get it right first time.
In addition to these projects, the Lord Chancellor will make an announcement next month about additional investment of £23 million
to modernise the Crown Court.
