HC Deb 19 October 1944 vol 403 cc2558-9W
Lieut.-Colonel Heneage

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he can give any recent figures of furnished and unfurnished houses in the London area having been broken into.

Mr. H. Morrison

Over the whole of the Metropolitan Police District there were 3,919 cases of burglary and housebreaking during the last nine, months. The figure for the corresponding period in 1943 was 3,425. I regret that separate figures for furnished and unfurnished houses are not available.
