Jacqui Smith: The data requested are shown in the table. The data are normally used for management information only and are not subject to the detailed checks that apply for National Statistics publications. The data are provisional and may be subject to change.

As part of the reviews of the burdens the Home Office places on police forces, the National Incident Category List has been simplified for 2009, with a 33 per cent. reduction in complexity, leading to a significant decrease in the data demand placed on forces.

Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when she plans to publish the results of the most recently completed crime and disorder reduction partnerships survey. [254363]

Jacqui Smith: We do not publish an annual crime and disorder reduction partnerships (CDRPs) survey. Under

the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, CDRPs had previously been required to report annually to the Secretary of State on the partnerships work and progress. This duty was repealed in 2007.
