§ Mr. LivingstoneTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, pursuant to the written answer of 15 December to the hon. Member for Brent, East, in what form information on weapons stolen from police stations is kept.
§ Mr. Ian Stewart[holding answer 10 January 1989]: This is a matter for the Chief Constable. I understand, however, that centralised records do not differentiate between the actual sources of theft, but cover weapons stolen from (a) members on and off duty; (b) members' homes; (c) official and private vehicles; (d) officers injured and killed; and (e) police stations.
