Lord ST. JUST

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many hard drug addicts were registered in the Manchester city area and the Greater London area on the 1st of January, 1977.

Information is only available by police force area. At 31st December 1975, 32 drug addicts were recorded as residing in the Greater Manchester police area and 1,116 drug addicts were recorded as residing in the areas covered by the Metropolitan Police and by the City of London Police. I regret that information for 31st December 1976 is not yet available.
