§ 43. Mr. David EvansTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what estimate he has as to the number of assaults made on police officers during 1988; and what was the figure for 1987.
§ Mr. Peter LloydArrangements have been made for information on assaults against police officers to be collected centrally for 1989 and subsequent years. We have no realistic estimate for earlier years, because forces recorded such information in a number of different ways and no central collation was made.
