Crime
Mr. Holloway: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on (a) levels and (b) detection rates of (i) violent crime, (ii) sexual crime, (iii) car crime, (iv) robbery and (v) burglary in Gravesham constituency. [30301]
Hazel Blears: The available information relates to the number of offences recorded and the detection rates in the North Kent Basic Command Unit (BCD) and is given in the table.
(30) The Sexual Offences Act 2003, introduced in May 2004, altered the definition and coverage of sexual offences.
Mrs. Spelman: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many recorded offences of (a) violence against the person, (b) sexual offences, (c) violent crime as a whole, (d) burglary, (e) robbery, (f) theft of a vehicle and (g) theft from a vehicle there were in each crime and disorder reduction partnership area in England and Wales in each year since the present recording system was established. [22406]
Hazel Blears: The present recording system was adopted following the introduction of the National Crime Recording Standard (NCRS) on one April 2002. The NCRS was introduced with the aim of promoting greater consistency between police forces in the recording of crime and to take a more victim-orientated approach to crime recording.
The introduction of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 in May 2004 resulted in substantial changes to the sexual offences group. In particular, the redefining of the offences of exposure into the sexual offences group resulted in substantial increases in this category nationally.
I will arrange for copies of the tables to be placed in the Library.
John Mann: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many burglaries have been recorded in (a) B division and (b) the Worksop sub-division of Nottinghamshire police in each month since June 2001. [26574]

Criminal Records Bureau
Mark Williams: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what (a) average and (b) maximum time was taken to process (i) a Criminal Records Bureau check, (ii) a full protection of vulnerable adults check (POVA) and (iii) a POVA first check in the last year for which figures are available. [24173]
Hazel Blears: The Criminal Records Bureau's (CRB's) performance for standard disclosures has consistently exceeded the target of 93 per cent. issued within two weeks. This is because the processing of a standard disclosure is entirely within the direct control of the CRB.
However, the performance for enhanced disclosures is currently below its target of processing 90 per cent. within four weeks. This is because enhanced disclosures involve an additional level of check by police forces and the CRB relies on forces to complete their checks efficiently.
During the period October 2004 to September 2005, the average processing time for a CRB check was 26.09 days. The average processing time has been calculated to include time out with the customer. The maximum length of time taken to process a check during this period was 356 days.
There are no data available to determine the average or maximum time taken to process a full POVA check or a POVA first check, because these figures are not collated centrally. However, during the aforementioned period, 95.1 per cent. of POVA first checks were completed within 48 hours and 97.5 per cent. were completed within 72 hours against service standards of 98 per cent. and 100 per cent. respectively.
