Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the average time taken was for police to visit a burglary scene following a reported burglary in each police force area in England and Wales in the most recent period for which figures are available.
Decisions on the allocation of the Metropolitan Police’s resources are a matter for Chief Officers, in association with the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC). The police have the resources to do their important work.
We have provided a fair provisional funding deal for 2017/18. It provides stable funding for the police and enables essential policing reform and transformation to go further and faster so that we help the vulnerable, cut crime and support our communities.
The information requested on the average time for the police to visit a burglary scene is not captured centrally by the Home Office.
