HC Deb 19 March 1931 vol 249 c2125
21. Mr. CHARLES WILLIAMS

asked the Home Secretary if he will state how many thefts other than housebreaking have been reported to the Metropolitan Police since 28th February, 1930; and how many of these were from private motor cars?

Mr. CLYNES

Figures to show all thefts other than housebreaking for this period are not available, but perhaps the following figures will give the information the hon. Member desires. The number of thefts in the streets of the Metropolitan Police District from the 28th February, 1930, to the 17th March, 1931, was 2,300. Of these 891 were thefts from private motor cars.
