§ John MannTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the 30 basic command units are; and which 30 police stations dealt with the highest levels of(a) acquisitive crime and (b) crime by drug addicts in the last year for which figures are available. [91132]
§ Mr. DenhamI refer my hon. Friend to the written statement my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department gave the House on 21 January 2003 about the additional funding being allocated to the 30 basic command units with the highest levels of acquisitive crime. Supporting information on the selection criteria has been placed in the Library.
National recorded crime statistics can be analysed to allow a ranking order at regional (basic command unit) level but no lower.
