§ Mr. RosindellTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many(a) criminal incidents were reported as occurring on London buses and (b) arrests have been made in (i) Havering and (ii) Greater London as a whole, in the past 12 months. [22938]
§ Mr. JamiesonI have been asked to reply.
Since January 2001 6,887 criminal incidents have been reported to London Buses, including assaults on staff and passengers. However, many incidents go unreported. There are also a number of incidents reported to the police which London Buses are unaware of.
Figures for criminal incidents on buses for individual boroughs are not currently available.
Within the Greater London area there were 1,202 arrests at the end of October for arrests for criminal incidents on the transport network as a whole.
