HC Deb 04 June 1984 vol 61 c4W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Attorney-General how many charges of riot and similar offences have been brought against football hooligans in the latest year for which figures are available.

Mr. Mellor

I have been asked to reply.

Statistics are not collected centrally on the circumstances in which offences are committed, and the information could therefore be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
