HC Deb 04 December 2001 vol 376 c227W
Mr. Hoyle

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many custody arrests were made in(a) Chorley and (b) Skelmersdale in the last three years. [9038]

Mr. Denham

Information on the number of arrests for notifiable offences is collected centrally at police force area level only. Available information shows that in 1999–2000 there were 37,535 arrests for notifiable offences within the Lancashire police force area. Information for earlier years is not available on a consistent basis. Figures for 2000–01 will be available in due course.
