Police Vehicle Collisions

Sarah Teather: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much was spent on repairing police vehicles following collisions in London in each of the last three years for which figures are available, broken down by basic command unit; and how many injuries resulted from a police collision in London in each year. [210789]

Ms Blears: This is a matter for the Commissioner. Ihave asked him to write to the hon. Member and place a copy in the Library.

Police/Crime Statistics (Durham)

Mr. Kevan Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the level of crime was in North Durham in (a) 1997, (b) 2001 and (c) the latest period for which figures are available. [214465]

Ms Blears: Statistics on the levels of crime specifically in North Durham are not collected centrally. Figures for the Durham police force area as a whole are as follows:
Recorded offences in Durham

	Number
1997	47,976
2001	48,613
2003–04	48,432

Because of changes to the coverage and counting rules in April 1998 and the introduction of the National Crime Recording Standard in April 2002, these data are not on a comparable basis.
