Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress her Department has made on delivering the Beating Crime Plan.

We are making great strides in delivering our plan to drive down crime.

We have recruited over 13,500 additional police officers, expanded our network of violence reduction units and hotspot policing to target those areas worst-affected by serious violence, and continued our relentless effort to degrade and dismantle the county lines drug-dealing model.
