The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions she has had with the Northern Ireland Executive on tackling shop lifting.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

The measures relating to shop theft in the Crime and Policing Bill will be enacted in England and Wales; however, we have had regular engagement with the Northern Ireland Executive – and will continue to do so as the Bill makes its passage through Parliament - on measures in the Bill.
