HC Deb 09 May 1994 vol 243 c8W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many neighbourhood watch schemes there are in operation in(a) each country in Wales, (b) Wales as a whole and (c) England as a whole.

Mr. Charles Wardle

Information on the number of neighbourhood watch schemes is recorded at police level and so it is not possible to attribute schemes to individual Welsh counties. The number of schemes recorded by the police at the end of December 1993 for England and Wales is as follows:

Police Force Area Neighbourhood Watch Schemes
Dyfed—Powys 1,257
Gwent 210
North Wales 2,989
South Wales 1,292
Total Wales 5,748
Total England 124,856
