Mr. Colvin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many closed circuit television schemes have been installed by each London borough council. [46370]

Mr. Michael

We do not have a record of closed circuit television schemes which have been funded by local councils. The number of schemes within London boroughs which have received awards under the Home Office CCTV challenge competition are shown in the table. These schemes are sponsored by local crime reduction partnerships, most of which involve the local authority.
