e-Crime Co-ordination Unit

Patrick Mercer: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) when he expects the E-Crime Co-ordination Unit to be established; [97805]

(2) what assessment he has made of how the proposed e-Crime Co-ordination Unit will (a) operate and (b) co-operate with the (i) Metropolitan police, (ii) Serious Organised Crime Agency and (iii) National Infrastructure Security Co-ordination Centre; and how he expects the E-Crime Co-ordination Unit to be (A) formed, (B) operated and (C) incorporated into (1) Scotland Yard, (2) the Serious Organised Crime Agency and (3) the National Infrastructure Security Co-ordination Centre. [97801]

Mr. Coaker: I understand that ACPO are carrying out some work to determine what capacity there is in police forces in England and Wales to deal with e-crime and what gaps exist. Part of that work involves scoping what value might be added by some form of co-ordination unit. I will meet ACPO representatives to discuss our response to e-crime, as soon as the initial findings of this work are ready. As part of that discussion, we will consider with ACPO the role that SOCA, the Metropolitan police and other police forces, NISCC and other relevant organisations play in relation to e-crime now and in the future.

Election Leaflets

Mr. Andrew Turner: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to his answer of 2 May 2006, Official Report, column 445W, on general election leaflets, when the Minister for Policing will write to the hon. Member for the Isle of Wight. [85957]

Mr. McNulty [holding answer 17 July 2006]: I wrote to the hon. Gentleman on 7 November.

Entry Refusals

Mr. Redwood: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people seeking entry to the UK in the last three months have been refused entry on the grounds that they might (a) commit criminal acts and (b) incite others to do so. [95686]

Mr. Byrne: The information requested is not available.

Ethnic Gangs

Mark Pritchard: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what research has been undertaken into how to tackle ethnic gangs in England and Wales. [92485]

7 Nov 2006 : Column 1367W

Mr. Coaker: There has been very little robust research undertaken on how to tackle gangs in England and Wales and the information which has been published tends to provide information about how to tackle gang related activity in general rather than providing specific recommendations on how to tackle ethnic gangs.

A review of the international published robust evidence on how to reduce gang related violence provides some recommendations on how to tackle gang related violence in general. The report is called: “Evidence Based Approaches to Reducing Gang Violence:” a rapid evidence assessment for Aston and Handsworth Operational Group (2004) Butler, G., Hodgkinson, J., Holmes, E. and Marshall, S and it is available online on the Government Social Research website.

Albania

Andorra

Armenia

Australia

Austria

Azerbaijan

Belgium

Bulgaria

Canada

Croatia

Cyprus
