Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent progress her Department has made on reducing levels of burglary and robbery.

This Government recognises the devastating impact crimes such as burglary and robbery have on our communities and businesses.

We are recruiting 20,000 police officers and continuing to invest in the Safer Streets Fund to prevent these crimes from happening, supporting deployment of evidence-based solutions such as home security and increased street lighting in high crime areas.
