Arrests: Cambridgeshire

Mr. Stewart Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many arrests were made per full-time police officer in the Cambridgeshire Constabulary in the last 12 months for which figures are available; and if she will make a statement. [169528]

Mr. McNulty: The requested information on arrests rates is not available from the information collected centrally, as the information on arrests collected by the Ministry of Justice is limited to just those arrests made for notifiable offences (that is offences covered by police recorded crime).

Asylum: Iraq and Afghanistan

Pete Wishart: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many (a) Iraqi and (b) Afghan nationals were granted asylum in (i) the last 12 months for which figures are available and (ii) each of the previous six years. [169480]

Mr. Byrne: Information on initial decisions and appeals for nationals of Iraq and Afghanistan for October 2006 to September 2007 and each of the previous last six years are shown in the following tables. This is the latest data for which information has been published.

Appeal determinations do not necessarily relate to initial decisions made in the same period.

Information on asylum applications, initial decisions and appeals by nationality are published quarterly and annually. Copies of these publications are available from the Library of the House and from the Home Office Research, Development and Statistics website at:
