§ Mr. BakerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how many attacks on individuals occurred (i) on trains and (ii) at 355W stations during (a) the last year for which figures are available, (b) 1990 and (c) 1995 broken down by train operating company responsibility. [84424]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonThe number of attacks on individuals for the years 1990–91, 1995–96 and 1998–99 are provided in the first table. These figures include crimes of violence against a person, sexual assaults and robberies. The British Transport Police do not hold these data broken down by train operating company or whether the crimes were on or off-train, but a previous search carried out in 1997–98 does show the percentages of on/off-train crime and these are shown in the second table.
