§ Mr. Leightonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis as to how many police officers there are at each of the police stations in the London borough of Newham, and as to what the comparable figures were for the three previous years.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggThe information requested is set out in the table. Figures for 1984 are not available. The figures for 1987 are not comparable with those for earlier years, as manpower accounting procedures were changed during the force reorganisation; officers in certain units who had previously been carried on divisional strengths now form part of the establishment of area headquarters.
