HC Deb 20 June 1985 vol 81 cc184-5W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the number of notifiable criminal offences which were recorded by the West Midlands police constabulary and the Metropolitan police force in each single year since 1979.

Mr. Mellor

Statistics of notifiable offences recorded by the police in each police force area are published annually in "Criminal Statistics, England and Wales" (Tables 2.4–2.7 of the volume for 1983, Cmnd. 9349). Corresponding figures for 1984 were published in a Home Office Statistical Bulletin, Issue 6/85, on 12 March 1985.
