§ Mr. Adleyasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many British citizens have been (a) killed or (b) injured in criminal assaults or muggings in the United States, in each of the last 10 years for which figures are available; and if he has any information about comparative figures for the citizens of each of the other European Community countries for the same period.
§ Mr. RifkindNeither we nor the United States authorities, whom we have consulted, hold statistics of this kind.
Very large numbers of British citizens have made their home in the United States. If any are killed or injured our missions may only be informed if there are no next of kin in the United States.
