§ 38. Dr. Marekasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state for each calendar year since 1978 the total number of crimes which were not cleared up.
§ Mr. MellorNumbers of notifiable offences recorded and cleared up by the police in each of the past 10 years are published in "Criminal Statistics, England and Wales, 1985" (Cmnd. 10, tables 2.2 and 2.17). Some offences are recorded and cleared up in different years and so it is possible only to estimate the number not cleared up in any year.
