Miss Widdecombe

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many burglaries involving private dwellings took place in(a) Great Britain, (b) inner cities and (c) inner London in the last three years for which statistics are available.

The readily available information relates to police force areas in England and Wales and is published annually in table S3.1, "Criminal Statistics Supplementary Tables 1988, Volume 3", quarterly in table 4 of Home Office statistical bulletins (the latest issue is 29/89) and separate tables for each police force area and quarterly in separate tables for London boroughs (showing total burglary); copies of all these are in the Library.
