Devolution and Growth across Britain
"The hon. Gentleman is making some very good points.

Thursday 24th April 2014
Asked by:
Jake Berry (Conservative - Rossendale and Darwen)
Question
to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department has taken in the last 12 months to reduce the burden of administration for the police.
Answered by Damian Green
This Government has acted so that the police focus on fighting crime and not processing paperwork. Our work which has already taken place to reduce bureaucracy could see up to 4.5 million hours of police time saved across all forces every year - the equivalent of over 2,100 officers back on the beat.
In the last 12 months we have established the Police Innovation Fund to support innovative delivery approaches to policing and free up officer time to fight crime. We have extended the use of police-led prosecutions, reducing bureaucracy for officers dealing with high-volume offences. We have also introduced an improved approach to dealing with Missing People so resources are deployed more intelligently.
We are producing digital case files to improve file build and reduce paperwork and we are supporting all forces to develop digital solutions so officers can submit information via mobile devices and not have to return to the station to fill in forms.

Asked by:
Jake Berry (Conservative - Rossendale and Darwen)
Question
to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans she has to reform anti-social behaviour orders; and if she will make a statement.
Answered by Norman Baker
The Government's reforms are contained in the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and
Policing Act 2014. The Act will introduce two new powers, a civil injunction
and the Criminal Behaviour Order, to replace Anti-Social Behaviour Orders.
Unlike Anti-Social Behaviour Orders, the new powers will not focus solely on
enforcement but can include positive requirements to ensure individuals address
the underlying causes of their behaviour.

Syrian Refugees
