Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps he is taking to help reduce the number of unsolved crimes.

We are committed to ensuring all partners across the Criminal Justice System (CJS) work better together to increase the number of cases being charged and prosecuted and improve case progression.

We welcome the commitment from police forces across England and Wales to pursue all leads where there is a reasonable chance it could result in catching a perpetrator and solving a crime.
