§ David DavisTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many crimes were committed by juvenile offenders in(a) Haltemprice and Howden, (b) the East Riding of Yorkshire and (c) the Humberside Police Authority area in each of the last two quarters for which figures are available; and how many cautions were issued. [132525]
§ Paul Goggins[holding answer 16 October 2003]: The information contained in the table gives the number of children convicted of all offences and those given reprimands and final warnings in Humberside, during the last two quarters of 2001.
The information collected centrally does not enable cases in the Haltemprice and Howden constituency to be identified nor cautions in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Neither is it possible to give the number of crimes committed by juveniles, only the number of juveniles who are found guilty of all offences.
Statistics for 2002 will be published in December.
