HC Deb 19 February 1991 vol 186 cc73-4W
Mr. Caborn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many additional uniformed police officers, excluding special constables, have been authorised to be added to the strength of the North Yorkshire police in each year from 1975 to 1990.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

It is not possible to distinguish between increases in uniformed and non-uniformed police officers as such information is not held centrally. The establishment of the North Yorkshire police has been increased in the following years between 1975 and 1990:

Year Police Posts
1975 111
1979 40
1989 15
1990 25

The police authority did not request establishment increases in the years 1980–81 to 1987–88 inclusive.

Mr. Caborn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many crimes were(a) recorded and (b) detected by North Yorkshire police in each year from 1975 to 1990.

Mr. John Patten

The requested information for 1975–1989 is published in the annual reports of the chief constable of North Yorkshire for the years 1976, 1978 and 1989. Copies of these publications are available in the Library. Statistics for 1990 are not yet available.
