Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many crimes(a) were reported and (b) led to convictions in the Sutton and Cheam constituency in each year since 1979. [134888] [134986]

Mr. Charles Clarke

[holding answer 6 November, 2000]: Details of reported crime are not available. Information on the numbers of crimes recorded by the police in the London Borough of Sutton has been provided by the Metropolitan police. The figures cover from the 1995–96 financial year onwards. I understand that comparative data for earlier years are not available.

Note:

Due to disproportionate costs, selected years only are given.

It is important to note that as recorded crime data relate to offences, and convictions data relate to offenders, the two sets of figures are not directly comparable.
