HL Deb 09 July 1990 vol 521 c107WA
Lord Harris of Greenwich

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many robberies, sexual attacks, and assaults took place on the London Underground in the first six months of 1990 and what were the comparable figures for 1989.

Viscount Davidson

Statistics for the first six months of 1990 are not yet available. The numbers of reported robberies, indecent assaults and assaults on police, staff and passengers on the London Underground for the first five months of the year show a welcome reduction on the comparable figures for the same period in 1989, as follows:

1989 January—May 1990 January—May
Robbery 335 256
Assault Police 81 31
Assault Staff 70 55
Assault Passenger 293 262
Indecent Assault 161 126
