§ Mark TamiTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the five most common makes and models of vehicles stolen in each police authority were in the last five years. [113028]
§ Mr. Bob AinsworthThe Home Office publishes an annual Car Theft Index showing which models and makes of car are most at risk of being stolen in England, Scotland and Wales. The following tables are based on data used to construct the Car Theft Indices published in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. No such index was published in 1998. The 2003 Index will be published towards the end of this year.
No breakdown of the information contained in these indices is available by police authority area, and producing one would involve disproportionate cost.
