HC Deb 24 July 1984 vol 64 c583W
Mr. Denis Howell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many police prosecutions there were against (a) cyclists and (b) motor cyclists during 1983 in Hyde park;

(2) how many police prosecutions there were against commercial vehicles in Hyde park in 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983 and so far in 1984, respectively.

Mr. Hurd

The offences involved are likely to be motoring offences, offences under the byelaws, or other summary offences which are not notifiable offences and so information on the numbers recorded is not readily available. Information on police prosecutions for such offences could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

Mr. Denis Howell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department is he will list the number of policemen by rank and responsibility, employed in policing Hyde park.

Mr. Hurd

Fifty-seven Metropolitan police officers are assigned to police Hyde park: one chief inspector, one inspector, six sergeants and 49 constables (of whom one sergeant and nine constables are mounted officers). All perform general policing duties.
