HC Deb 24 July 2002 vol 389 c1474W
Tom Brake

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many(a) deaths and (b) serious injuries were caused by street robberies in the Metropolitan Police area in 2001; and at what estimated cost to public funds. [31019]

Mr. John Denham

Information is not available centrally in this form, and provision is a matter for the Commissioner for the Metropolis.

Latest published Home Office figures show that, according to current records (which are subject to possible change), the Metropolitan Police recorded seven homicides in 2000–01 where the circumstances involved robbery.
