HC Deb 24 November 1987 vol 123 cc104-5W
Mr. Battle

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the crime detection rate for each year since 1979 in the Leeds metropolitan district council area.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The statistics which are collected centrally on notifiable offences recorded and cleared up relate to entire police force areas, and are published in "Criminal Statistics England and Wales" (tables 2.18 and 2.19 of the issue for 1986, Cm. 233) copies of which are in the Library. The clear-up rate in West Yorkshire was 38 per cent. in 1986.
