Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the purpose of, and what information is held on, the police directories index of the new police national computer.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The index is a computerised version of the police manual which gives the name, address, postcode and telephone number of the force/station code used in PNC records. The index contains similar information for courts and also the codes for PNC terminals. The latter enables forces to send messages to PNC terminals in other forces.

Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department where the information stored on the extremist crime index of PNCI is now held.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The information is being retained on PNCI for the time being.
