§ Mr. MellorI understand from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that the information that is readily available on notifiable offences recorded and cleared up in each borough or district in 1984 is as given in the following tables. These tables correspond to those which will be placed in the Library for 1985 and each subsequent year, in accordance with the reply to my hon. Friend on 8 May 1985, columns 410–11. To produce a more detailed breakdown by type of offence would involve disproportionate costs and require extensive tables of figures, many of which would be small and so subject to wide variation and possibly misleading.
