HC Deb 25 June 1999 vol 333 c474W
Mr. Gerald Howarth

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to his answer of 8 June 1999,Official Report, column 264, on stop and search, if he will list the figures for stop and search nationally. [88228]

Mr. Boateng

Statistics on stop and search are collected centrally only on a quarterly basis. Figures are not yet complete for the period January to March 1999.

Statistical bulletin "Operation of Certain Police Powers under PACE, England and Wales, 1997–98" (Issue 2/99) contained stop/search figures on an annual basis. A copy is in the Library.
