Alan Campbell
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office) (Crime Reduction)

The Government do not specify a particular definition of business crime, but is looking with the National Retail Crime Steering Group, at how a fuller picture of the scale and nature of the crime problems that affect businesses nationally might be obtained.
