§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the growth of violence, the increase in muggings and racial attacks in the London borough of Newham, and the advice given by the authorities to old people not to travel after dark, he will ask the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis to make a report to him of the action being taken to deal with these matters; and if he will publish in the Official Report this report and as much information as he has available on the incidence of these offences in the borough in recent years.
§ Mr. BrittanNo. We are confident that the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis is taking all possible steps to deal with any outbreaks of violence that occur in Newham. The following table shows the information available about crimes reported to the police and arrests made by the police in Newham from 1976 to 31 October 1980. "Mugging" is not a recognised classification; the category of "robbery/violent theft" is probably its closest parallel.
