HC Deb 04 November 1965 vol 718 c212W
Brigadier Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people were charged with armed robbery during the year commencing 1st November, 1964; and how this number compares with the previous year.

Miss Bacon

The Criminal statistics for England and Wales do not record separately offences of robbery in which the offender was armed.

In the Metropolitan Police District the provisional number of persons charged in respect of offences of robbery or assault with intent to rob in which firearms or supposed firearms were involved was 62 in the period 1st November, 1964 to 31st October, 1965. The figure for the previous 12 months was 52.
