Mr. Pavvseyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many offences involving the use or possession of explosives have occurred in England and Wales in each of the years since 1965.
§ Mr. MayhewThe only information available relates to offences currently recorded as homicide since 1967 where the method of killing was an explosion; these figures are published annually in "Criminal Statistics, England and Wales"—table 10.5 of the volume for 1979, Cmnd. 8098. The information collected centrally on other offences recorded by the police does not separately identify those offences involving the use or possession of explosives.
