Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to ensure effective investigations by the police on incidents of antisocial behaviour.

Mr Speaker, on 27 March, the Government launched the Anti-social Behaviour Action Plan, increasing funding for Police and Crime Commissioners by over £100m.

The Plan will focus on making communities safer, building local pride, prevention, early intervention and improving data, reporting and accountability. These proposals will ensure perpetrators are investigated and punished, helping to restore pride in our communities.
