Drugs: Crime
Mr. Dodds:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many persons were arrested for dealing in Class (a) A, (b) B and (c) C drugs in each district command unit in each of the last five years. [194753]
Paul Goggins:
The following table sets out the number of persons arrested for dealing in Class A, B and C drugs in each district command unit in each of the last five years.
As one person can be arrested for multiple offences, adding together the total number of persons arrested under each category does not equal the total number of persons arrested.
Cannabis was reclassified from Class B to Class C on 29 January 2004, hence the decrease of Class B and the increase of Class C arrests for the period 2004-07.
