HC Deb 10 March 1970 vol 797 c299W
Mr. Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how the 1969 crime figures for the area covered by the Brixton Police Station compare with 1968; and how the difference between these years compares with the figures for the Metropolitan Police Area.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

Allowing for changes due to the Theft Act, 1968, there was a decrease in crime figures for Brixton for 1969 compared with 1968 of 5 per cent.; the comparable figure for the Metropolitan Police District was a rise of 7.5 per cent.
