Mr. Shersby

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis on the crime clear-up rate for 1990; and if he will publish in the Official Report the number of crimes cleared up in the Metropolitan area in each of the past two years.

Mr. John Patten

Figures published by the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis show the clear up rate for notifiable offences recorded in the Metropolitan police district in 1990 was 17 per cent. and the number of crimes cleared up had risen from 131,400 in 1989 to 141,700 in 1990.
