§ Mr. HardyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his estimate of the number of crimes which have occurred but which have not been reported to the police during the last 12 months.
§ Mr. John Patten[holding answer 21 November 1991]:The fourth British crime survey, fieldwork for which will be in early 1992, will provide an estimate for 1991. Some types of crime are not covered by the survey, such as those where the victim is an organisation or institution, rather than an individual.
