Lord Black of Brentwood – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Black of Brentwood on 2015-02-11.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they have taken in response to allegations of the theft of almost 300 cats in the Suffolk area between June and December 2014.

Lord Bates

Allegations of criminal behaviour should be reported to the Suffolk Constabulary so they can decide whether to instigate a criminal investigation. The Government has introduced Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to ensure that police force priorities across England and Wales better reflect those of the communities they serve, and that the police respond effectively to crime committed in the local area.
