To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 21 March 2018 to Question 132685, when the National Crime Steering Group's work plan was last updated; how often that work plan is published; and what assessment she has made of whether the objectives of that work plan have been achieved.

The work plan of the National Retail Crime Steering Group is kept up to date on an ongoing basis, and is formally reviewed by the Steering Group when it meets, twice per year.
As co-chair of the Steering Group, alongside the British Retail Consortium, it is part of my role to ensure that members of the Steering Group are satisfied that the work plan reflects the retail sector’s crime priorities and that the required activity is in place to deliver its component parts. I am satisfied that this is currently the case, and I will review this with the full Steering Group at our next meeting, which is due to take place in June.
