Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of callers to the Police 101 number waited more than an hour for their call to be answered in the most recent period for which figures are available.
Responding to 101 calls is an operational matter for policing. The Home Office no longer collects 101 data, but you can find the published data at https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/policeuk/call-handling/101_call_handling_Jun_2014.zip
