Mr. Amess

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many murders, rapes, armed robberies, and burglaries there were in Basildon in 1986.

Mr. Mellor

The information which is collected centrally is of notifiable offences recorded in the Essex police force area, figures for which are published annually in "Criminal Statistics, England and Wales, Supplementary Tables" (tables S.3.1 and S.3.1(A) of volume 3 of the issue for 1985).
