HC Deb 15 June 1989 vol 154 cc511-2W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has received a copy of the chief constable's annual report on the policing of Greater Manchester; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We have received the report; I am glad to see that there was a decrease of nearly 8 per cent. in the total number of crimes recorded during the year in his force area.
