13. Mr. Duncan-Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are the main achievements of his Department's safer cities initiatives; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Brazier

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many safer cities projects have been established; and what assessment he has made of their effectiveness.

Mr. Jack

There are currently 20 safer cities projects which through a partnership approach have delivered over 2,800 crime prevention projects many of which, as the latest safer cities progress report shows, are now delivering effective reductions in both crime levels and the fear of crime.
