HC Deb 21 April 1994 vol 241 c638W
18. Mr. Cyril D. Townsend

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many cases of possession of the drug crack are known to the Metropolitan police in 1994; and what further action he plans to deal with this.

Mr. Maclean

Provisional figures which have been supplied by the Metropolitan police for January and February this year show that there were 88 seizures of crack. I understand, though, that as an agreed Metropolitan police force strategy all area drug squads give priority to tackling crack dealing.
