Neighbourhood Policing: Organised Crime Asked by: Baroness Buscombe (Conservative - Life peer) Wednesday 24th June 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask His Majesty's Government what powers are available to Police Community Support Officers to address serious and organised crime, beyond those relating to intelligence gathering. Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office) Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) support policing with targeted visible patrols, public engagement and reassurance to help reduce crime and anti-social behaviour and make people feel safer in their communities. They are not intended to directly target serious and organised crime. PCSOs do not have a fixed set of powers in law. Their powers are designated locally by Chief Officers under section 38 of the Police Reform Act 2002. A wide range of powers can be designated to PCSOs, but this does not include statutorily excluded powers such as arrest, stop and search or powers set out in terrorism and national security legislation. Those more intrusive and complex powers are available to warranted police constables, who are trained and held accountable for their safe and appropriate use. This Government remains firmly committed to tackling serious and organised crime and the threat it poses to communities across the UK. We ensure that law enforcement agencies have the powers and capabilities they need to disrupt and prevent serious and organised criminal activity.
Organised Crime: Arrests Asked by: Baroness Buscombe (Conservative - Life peer) Wednesday 24th June 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask His Majesty's Government how many arrests relating to serious and organised crime on high streets in rural areas have been made in each of the past two years. Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office) The Home Office collects and publishes data on arrests in England and Wales as part of the ‘Police Powers and Procedures’ statistical series, available here: Police powers and procedures England and Wales statistics - GOV.UK However, data is collected by broader offence group for example ‘drug offences’ or ‘possession of weapons’, therefore data specifically on arrests relating to serious and organised crime is not available. Additionally data is collected by Police Force Area, therefore further geographical details relating to arrests such as arrests made on high streets in rural areas is also not available.
HMP Huntercombe: Deportation Asked by: Baroness Buscombe (Conservative - Life peer) Wednesday 24th June 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask His Majesty's Government how many foreign national offenders released from HMP Huntercombe upon completion of their sentence have, in each of the past two years, not been deported in accordance with their sentence and have subsequently become unaccounted for by the relevant authorities. Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office) The specific information you have requested regarding the foreign national offenders (FNOs) released from HMP Huntersombe who subsequently abscond is not available from published Home Office statistics. We make every effort to ensure that FNOs are removed directly from prison, and we have delivered record numbers of FNO returns under the Early Removal Scheme, delivering 3,044 returns in the year ending January 2026, which is a 13% increase compared to the 2,700 in the same period 12 months prior. The Home Office faces significant and complex challenges when seeking to return those who have no right to be in the UK to their country of origin or lawful place of return and it is not always possible to remove immediately post custodial sentence. Where removal is not immediately possible, FNOs may be granted bail to be managed in the community. FNOs will be subject to rigorous reporting, electronic monitoring, and accommodation conditions. If an FNO does not comply with their bail conditions, the Home Office has a dedicated tracing capability that works in partnership with the police, other government agencies, and commercial companies to help identify information on a person. Where tracing checks are successful, we will consider the most appropriate intervention, including whether to task an enforcement team to conduct a visit or to set up a suitable immigration reporting regime.
