39. Mr. Sandelson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what trends there are in the monthly totals of indictable offences reported in the Metropolitan area for the last six months for which figures are available.

Mr. John

In the last six months of 1978 there appears to have been a small decline in the trend of the number of indictable offences recorded by the police in the Metropolitan Police district.
