IMPACT

Mr. Garnier: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he plans to publish the business case for the police national intelligence database, IMPACT; and if he will make a statement on the progress of the project. [18966]

Hazel Blears: The IMPACT programme has made significant progress on two fronts. It will deliver, by the end of 2005, a national index of names (the IMPACT nominal index) which will enable any force to check where information is held on individuals by other forces. A programme definition project is being finalised. Under it, plans will be set out for longer term improvements in police information management, including the future of the police national computer.

A fuller statement on progress in implementing the Bichard recommendations will be placed before the House shortly. This will include a more detailed statement about the progress of the IMPACT programme. For commercial reasons, business cases are not released until contracts have been signed and associated contractual activities completed.

Mr. Garnier: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what his estimate is of the date by which IMPACT will be in service in each police authority area in England and Wales. [18967]

Hazel Blears: The IMPACT programme is intended to deliver improved police information management and information sharing systems over the next five years. The first application, a national index of names (the IMPACT nominal index) will be deployed into a child abuse investigation unit in every force in England and Wales by the end of 2005. Together with the interim police local cross-check (pending full police local cross-check delivered as part of the IMPACT programme on which preparatory work continues) this will enable police forces and the Criminal Records Bureau to check where information is held on individuals by other forces. Further decisions about the implementation timetable will be made by the end of March 2006.
