Mr. Damian Green: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what estimate he has made of the amount of time senior police officers spent providing information for Government Regional Offices in the last year for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement. [203021]
Ms Blears: The information requested is not collected, nor is it possible to make any reliable estimate.
Home Office Regional Directors and their teams in the Government Offices for the Regions have an important part to play in helping to secure local delivery of the Government's objectives in respect of crime, substance misuse and community cohesion. This inevitably requires them to meet regularly with key partners in their areas including, of course, the police. I know that Government Offices do all they can to ensure that dialogue is productive, and bureaucracy kept to a minimum.
