The Government have put into place policies in the areas of crime reduction, antisocial behaviour, policing and active communities that are yielding considerable benefits for the constituency.Between March 1997 and March 2005 the number of police officers in the Lancashire Police area increased by 339 from 3,247 to 3,586. The Government's introduction of Community Support Officers (CSOs) in 2002 has put 159 CSOs on the streets in the Lancashire Police Service area to tackle crime and antisocial behaviour.Lancashire Police will receive £187 million in general grants for 2006–07, an increase of 3.1 per cent. (£5.6 million) over the comparable figure for 2005–06. General grants funding to Lancashire police has increased by 27.3 per cent. between 1997–98 and 2006–07. (Figures are not directly comparable, as adjustments to pay for NCS and NCIS centrally, and the transfer of pensions and security funding from general grant to specific in 2006–07 have reduced General Grant for Lancashire Police Authority compared with 1997). In addition to general grants, Lancashire police will also receive an estimated £33.8 million in specific grants funding for targeted initiatives and capital provision in 2006–07. Lancashire will also gain £0.6 million from the Amending Reports for 2004–05 and 2005–06. The distribution of resources locally is a matter for the Police Authority and the Chief Constable.The Crime Reduction Programme (CRP) was a £340 million intervention programme running for three years from April 1999.Figures are not available for constituency or local level. In West Lancashire a total of 14 antisocial behaviour orders (ASBOs) have been issued. (The latest figures available).

The Government have put into place policies in the areas of crime reduction, antisocial behaviour, policing and active communities that are yielding considerable benefits for the constituency.Between March 1997 and March 2005 the number of police officers in the Metropolitan Police area increased by 4,396 from 26,677 to 31,073. The Government's introduction of community support officers (CSOs) in 2002 has put 2,053 CSOs on the streets in the Metropolitan Police Service area to tackle crime and antisocial behaviour. Metropolitan Police will receive £1,818 million in general grants for 2006–07, an increase of 3.1 per cent. (£54.7 million) over the comparable figure for 2005–06. General grants funding to Metropolitan Police has increased by 20.8 per cent. between 1997–98 and 2006–7 (Figures are not directly comparable, due to boundary changes, adjustments to pay centrally for NCS and NCIS, and the transfer of pensions and security funding from general grant to specific in 2006–07. All have reduced general grant for Metropolitan Police Authority compared with 1997). In addition to general grants, Metropolitan Police will also receive an estimated £394.5 million in specific grants funding for targeted initiatives and capital provision in 2006–07. The Metropolitan also gains £5.3 million from the amending reports for 2004–05 and 2005–06.

The Home Office is committed to achieving the Framework for Sustainable Development on the Government Estate energy targets; namely to reduce absolute carbon, from fuel and electricity used in buildings on our estate, by 12.5 per cent. by 2010–11, relative to 1999–2000 and to increase the energy efficiency of the buildings on our estate, measured in terms of kWh of fuel and electricity use per square metre of buildings floor area by 15 per cent. over the same period. To meet these targets the Department is benchmarking key office sites to identify those buildings which are high energy users.The contract at our London HQ building at 2Marsham street requires our PFI partner to operate the building at 10 per cent. below the best practice benchmark contained in the Government's Energy Efficiency Best Practice Programme Energy Use in Offices Guide.In 2005–06 the Prison Service funded a number of energy saving projects with a total value of £512,760. Work included extension of building management systems at the following establishments; Askham Grange, Belmarsh, Castington, Coldingley, Lewes and Preston. Automatic lighting controls were installed at Belmarsh, Brockhill, Cardiff, Hewell Grange, Parkhurst and Swansea.A number of business groups on the core office estate have undertaken awareness raising programmes on energy conservation and improving energy efficiency. Specific actions have been taken by local property centre managers including replacement of lighting with energy efficient bulbs in large office buildings; reducing the number of lighting units required; and requiring security personnel to ensure lights are switched off when they conduct their evening patrols.Overall, the Department has achieved an 11 per cent. reduction in total energy consumption since the baseline year.

As of 21 April 2006, the Home Office operates 40 websites.The core Home Office website also has a number of sub-domains, such as police.homeoffice.gov.uk, which act as portal sites for practitioners around policy issues.After a major redevelopment in September 2005, which brought nine separate websites under the main Home Office domain, a plan is under way to consolidate all of our sites by March 2007.The Home Office does not keep a central record of all of the reports published on its websites. The information requested about numbers of reports published on the internet in March 2006—and also made available in paper copy—can therefore not be collected without incurring disproportionate cost.Sites:"www.homeoffice.gov.uk""www.commercial.homeoffice.gov.uk""www.communities.homeoffice.gov.uk""www.drugs.homeoffice.gov.uk""www.police.homeoffice.gov.uk""www.press.homeoffice.gov.uk""www.scienceandresearch.homeoffice.gov.uk""www.security.homeoffice.gov.uk""www.snen.homeoffice.gov.uk""www.inspectorates.homeoffice.gov.uk""www.careers.homeoffice.gov.uk""www.homeoffice.gov.uk/""www.rdsnoms.homeoffice.gov.uk""www.crimereduction.gov.uk""www.crimestatistics.org.uk""www.probation.homeoffice.gov.uk""www.treatmenttheworks.comtogether.gov.uk""www.respect.gov.uk""www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk""www.indmps.co.uk""www.employingmigrantworkers.org.uk""www.lifeintheuktest.gov.uk""www.nirf.org.uk""www.uknationality.gov.uk""www.workingintheuk.gov.uk""www.bicester-centre.co.uk""www.hmprisonservice.gov.uk""www.identitycards.gov.uk""www.hmpenterprises.co.uk""www.passport.gov.uk""www.crb.gov.uk""www.forensic.gov.uk""www.secureyourmotor.gov.uk""www.citizensday.org.uk""www.connected.gov.uk""www.good2besecure.co.uk""www.identity-theft.org.uk""www.thinkuknow.co.uk""www.policecouldyou.co.uk""www.policehighpotential.org.uk""www.sharpendmag.com""www.imb.gov.uk""www.ipcc.gov.uk""www.ipt-uk.com""www.ppo.gov.uk""www.bichard-inquiry.org.uk""www.russellcommission.org""www.zahidmubarekinquiry.org.uk"
