Written Question
European Arrest Warrants
Monday 6th June 2016

Asked by: Jack Dromey (Labour - Birmingham, Erdington)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 23 May 2016 to Question 37288, if she will publish statistics on how many European Arrest Warrant surrenders to and from each UK law enforcement agency of each type there have been in each region.

Answered by James Brokenshire

These statistics are provided by the National Crime Agency on their website at: http://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/publications/european-arrest-warrant-statistics However, this does not provide statistics on surrenders by law enforcement and offence - these are recorded separately.

The following figures are therefore based on surrenders to and by relevant police force areas (excluding those law enforcement agencies that sit outside of regional police force areas (i.e., British Transport Police)). This, and the fact that these figures are taken from statistics for the relevant fiscal years, rather than the calendar years, explains the slight variation from the figures previously released.

Written Question
Proceeds of Crime
Friday 26th February 2016

Asked by: Lord Mann (Non-affiliated - Life peer)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what receipts were received by each police force from the proceeds of crime in 2015.

Answered by John Hayes

More assets were taken off criminals in 2014/15 than ever before. £199 million was recovered, and hundreds of millions more was frozen and put beyond the reach of criminals. The table below shows the total receipts from cash forfeited by each police force, and receipts from confiscation orders in the financial year 1 April 2014-31 March 2015.

The table includes data for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. However, the figures for the Police Service of Northern Ireland are for cash forfeitures only, as under the devolution settlement, all confiscation receipts are retained by Northern Ireland, and the Home Office holds no data.
