HL Deb 15 March 2004 vol 659 c13WA
Lord Stoddart of Swindon

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Baroness Scotland of Asthal on 5 February (WA 114), whether they are satisfied that the police and other enforcement authorities have been able to monitor the 355 new criminal offences within the remit of the Home Office which have been created since 1997. [HL1543]

Baroness Scotand of Asthal

Yes. Whenever a new criminal offence is implemented following Home Office legislation the standard procedure is for the relevant unit to ensure that those responsible for the appropriate enforcement action are suitably informed.
