Mr. Battle: My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister and President Jiang Zemin agreed on the need for further dialogue between our
two countries on the problems of international crime and drugs in their meeting during the Chinese State Visit. I raised the issue
of drugs with the Chinese Vice Foreign Minister during my recent visit to China and we agreed to continue close co-operation in this
field, where we have had a number of small, mainly training, projects.
There have been a number of successful co-operative operations between the British and Chinese police to deal with kidnapping cases.

Dr. Tonge: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development how she plans to evaluate the effectiveness of the UN
International Drugs Control Programme's drug reduction programme in drug- producing regions. [102494]
Clare Short: My Department routinely monitors and periodically reviews all the major projects we fund to assess their effectiveness,
including those managed by the UN International Drug Control Programme (UNDCP). Monitoring and review is systematically undertaken
in order to assess DFID-assisted interventions in terms of their relevance, effectiveness and efficiency and, as far as possible,
their impact and sustainability. We also subject a small proportion of our projects and programmes to rigorous ex-post evaluation.
We have also welcomed UNDCP's plans to strengthen their own evaluation and monitoring procedures.

Mrs. Fyfe: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of
British policy on combating the international trade in illicit drugs. [99970]
Mr. Battle: FCO co-ordinates the overseas drugs efforts of the relevant Government Departments including HM Customs and Excise and
the Home Office. We also work to improve the effectiveness of the various international anti-drugs bodies, including at the UN and
EU.
FCO activity is fully within the Government's 10 year anti-drug strategy under the UK's Anti-Drugs Co-ordinator, Keith Hellawell.
Specifically, the FCO co-ordinates supply side overseas activity contributing to meeting the objective of reducing the availability
of legal drugs in the UK.
We spend £6 million per year, on supporting projects worldwide within the framework of the UK drugs strategy to prevent the
production and trafficking to the UK of Class A drugs, particularly heroin and cocaine.

Mr. Hawkins: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to encourage an increase in the proportion of
time spent by police officers on fighting crime. [99701]
Mr. Charles Clarke: The deployment of police officers is the operational responsibility of Chief Constables. However, the
introduction of best value into the police service from April next year and the requirement that year on year efficiency savings of
2 per cent. must be recycled into front-line policing should allow Chief Constables to allocate more officers to the essential job
of reducing crime.
Information Technology systems being delivered under the National Strategy for Police Information Systems (NSPIS) and new radio
technology for the police being provided as part of the Public Safety Radio Communications Project (PSRCP) will do much to free
officers from administrative burdens.
The NSPIS Custody application draws much of the criminal history information required for effective administration of those in
custody automatically from the Police National Computer, saving police time, effort and paperwork. The NSPIS Case Preparation system
is designed to produce all the information needed by the police, courts, Crown Prosecution Service and other bodies to process cases
automatically. This, too, will substantially reduce the administrative burden on police officers, freeing them for front line
duties. Holmes 2 harnesses modern technology to make the best use of police resources used in the investigation of major crimes.
NSPIS Crime automates the recording of crime reports, saving effort in compilation and making them easier to use in crime management
and intelligence led policing. The National Management Information System (NMIS) provides an integrated set of tools to deliver the
information commanders at all levels need to manage their resources as efficiently as possible to meet performance targets. NMIS
will also enable data to be collected on a common basis to a standard format making it easier to collate and compare at the national
level. This will reduce the burden on the police in producing returns and help Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in their
work.
The NSPIS applications will be interlinked so that information can be shared electronically, and transmitted to front line officers
via the new Public Safety Radio Communication System. These new applications will help free officers from the burden of paperwork
and free them for front line duties.

Shona McIsaac: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps the Government are taking to ensure the elderly are
protected from burglaries. [99708]
Mr. Charles Clarke: The elderly, like all age groups, will benefit from the £250 million Crime Reduction Programme that was launched
in July 1998 as an evidence-based approach to reducing crime, and from the Crime Reduction Strategy that we announced last week.
The Crime Reduction Programme includes the Reducing Burglary Initiative, under which more than £50 million will be used to support
anti-burglary projects over three years covering some 2 million households in 500 areas with high levels of domestic burglary. Of
the 63 strategic development projects already under way under this initiative, seven will specifically benefit the elderly.
In addition, we recently announced an £11 million project to provide security improvements for the homes of pensioners on low
incomes in high burglary areas, in conjunction with the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions' New Home Energy
Efficiency Scheme, which starts in June. We plan to announce in the Spring how the improved security arrangements will operate.
This scheme, along with the Reducing Burglary Initiative, will be evaluated to help identify what works most cost-effectively in
which circumstances. The results will be disseminated to all partnerships to help them tackle their own burglary problems.
Home Office literature on crime prevention already includes detailed advice to help the elderly reduce the risk of burglary,
including burglary by fraudulent callers. We are also in the initial stages of developing a national programme to combat distraction
burglary (the victims of which are mostly very elderly). This will use widespread publicity and improved intelligence and detection
methods and will involve the police, other organisations such as Neighbourhood watch and the public utility companies.
