HC Deb 04 July 2000 vol 353 c168W
Mr. Galloway

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many crimes were reported to the Metropolitan police on Monday 26 June; and if he will make a statement. [128274]

Mr. Charles Clarke

The information is not yet available for Monday 26 June, but on the latest Monday for which the information is currently available, which was Monday 22 May 2000, 3,542 crimes were reported to the Metropolitan police.

Mr. Randall

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list by division of the Metropolitan Police Service the ratio of(a) reported crimes, (b) burglaries and (c) calls from computer-aided despatch per officer in each of the last five years. [128312]

Mr. Charles Clarke

I understand from the Metropolitan police that the information could not be made available in the form requested for each of the last five years except at disproportionate cost. It should, however, be possible to provide the information for the last two years shortly, and I will write to the hon. Member when it is available.
