§ Mr. Colin ShepherdTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much money has now been seized as a consequence of convictions involving section 1 of the Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986.
§ Mr. MacleanInformation collected centrally is given in the table:

by financial year 1987–88—1992–93
England and Wales
Year Amount recovered £ 1987–88 600,000 1988–89 1989–902 1,375,200 1990–912 1,448,000 1991–92 5,384,500 1992–93 5,180,900 1 The information collected centrally is known to be incomplete as returns were not received from all petty sessional divisions. 2 There was some confusion with the recording of the Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986 and the Criminal Justice Act 1988 during these two years. In consequence it is considered that data has been under-recorded for the Drug Trafficking offence Act 1986 and over-recorded for the Criminal Justice Act 1988.
