Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of the 101 crime service; what procedures are in place to ensure that lessons are learnt from any shortcomings in that service; and if she will make a statement.

The 101 non-emergency contact number is led by the police. The annual crime survey for England and Wales shows that awareness of the number has increased steadily since its introduction in 2011.
