Monday 25th April 2022

Asked by: Rob Butler (Conservative - Aylesbury)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to tackle rural crime.

Answered by Kit Malthouse

We are committed to driving down rural crime, which is why the Government is providing funding for the National Wildlife Crime Unit.

We have also tabled amendments to the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill to introduce tougher sentencing and improved police powers for hare coursing.
