§ 37. Captain McEWEN (for Mr. JOHN RUTHERFORD)asked the Home Secretary how many crimes were committed within the Metropolitan Police area during 1932; and how this figure compares with that for the preceding year?
§ Sir J. GILMOUROwing to a change in the compilation of the figures in question, it is difficult to give comparable figures in answer to a question, but an important and comprehensive review of the state of crime in the Metropolitan Police district will be published in the annual report of the Commissioner of Police for 1932, which will be available in the Vote Office this afternoon about 6 o'clock.
