Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when the Missing Persons Register will be published.
We are currently working towards the National Register of Missing Persons (NRMP) to be in use operationally in 2020/2021.
The NRMP will be delivered through the Home Office National Law Enforcement Data Programme (NLEDP) and will enable us to have a snapshot of live missing incidents across police forces in England and Wales. This will assist officers when they encounter a missing person, particularly if that missing person is located outside their home force area.
