Sir Fergus Montgomery

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information he has about the current crime detection rate in greater Manchester.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

Information on offences cleared up is collected centrally for police force areas for different types of offence and is published in "Criminal Statistics, England and Wales, 1986" (Cm 233), tables 2.18 and 2.19. In 1986 the clear-up rate for notifiable offences in greater Manchester was 27 per cent.
