One individual charged with preparation of terrorist acts (section 5, Terrorism Act 2006), possession of a prohibited weapon (section 5(1), Firearms Act 1968), possession of ammunition (section 1 (1b), Firearms Act 1968), possession of a silencer without a firearms licence (section 1 (1b), Firearms Act 1968).

One individual charged with attending a place for instruction or training in terrorism (section 8, Terrorism Act 2006) and collection of information (section 58 (1) (a), Terrorism Act 2000).
Thames Valley Police
Mr. Rob Wilson:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the crime clear-up rates for (a) violence against the person, (b) robbery, (c) 12 Jan 2009 : Column 314W
burglary in a dwelling, (d) theft of a motor vehicle and (e) theft from a vehicle were in the Thames Valley police area in each of the last 10 years, broken down by basic command unit. [244372]
Mr. Alan Campbell:
The available information is given in the following table. Data at Basic Command Unit level (BCU) are only available from 1999-2000 and the BCUs within the Thames Valley police force area were re-structured in 2005-06. In addition, detection rates data are subject to wide variation where small numbers are involved.
Non-sanction detections that contribute to detection rates have fallen in recent years reflecting a significant shift by many forces away from recording detections of crime where no further action is taken. For this reason overall detection rates over time are not fully comparable.
From 1 April 2007 the rules governing recording of non-sanction detections were revised to reduce the scope within which they can be claimed to a very limited set of circumstances.
