HL Deb 16 June 1998 vol 590 cc127-8WA
Lord Dholakia

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether it is now possible to publish the figures from the Metropolitan Police Service which were not included in the December 1997 report (tables 2.2, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4) from the Home Office under Section 95 of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 on Race and the Criminal Justice System. [HL2196]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

It is not possible to publish the figures from the Metropolitan Police Service which were not included in the December 1997 report published under Section 95 of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 on Race and the Criminal Justice System. The Metropolitan Police were unable to provide the data due to problems with their computerised systems. The Metropolitan Police have now updated their systems, and data on stop and search, arrests, cautions and homicides will be published, along with data from other police forces, in the autumn.
