John Mann – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office
The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Mann on 2016-02-19.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what receipts were received by each police force from the proceeds of crime in 2015.
Mr John Hayes
More assets were taken off criminals in 2014/15 than ever before. £199 million was recovered, and hundreds of millions more was frozen and put beyond the reach of criminals. The table below shows the total receipts from cash forfeited by each police force, and receipts from confiscation orders in the financial year 1 April 2014-31 March 2015.
The table includes data for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. However, the figures for the Police Service of Northern Ireland are for cash forfeitures only, as under the devolution settlement, all confiscation receipts are retained by Northern Ireland, and the Home Office holds no data.
