Ms Jowell

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what was the number of reported assaults on women travelling on trains each year since 1990. [41751]

Mr. Watts

The table shows the number of recorded assaults against women travelling on trains from 1 September 1993 to 30 September 1995. Separate figures by gender for periods before 1 September 1993 are not readily available and could be produced only at disproportionate cost.

Period Total
1 September 1993 to 31 December 1993 113
1 January 1994 to 31 December 1994 494
1 January 1995 to 30 September 1995 395

Ms Jowell
