Ann Coffey – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Ann Coffey on 2015-10-13.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many individual investigations the National Crime Agency has conducted into County Line operations; and how many prosecutions have resulted from such investigations.

Karen Bradley

The National Crime Agency’s remit relating to ‘county lines’ does not focus on the conduct of individual investigations and prosecutions. Individual investigations and prosecutions remain the responsibility of local police forces. Information on the number of investigations and prosecutions relating to county lines specifically is not collated centrally.
