(2) The statistics relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with. When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more offences the principal offence is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed. Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences, the offence selected is the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most severe. (3) Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used.

Antisocial Behaviour Orders
Derek Twigg: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many anti-social behaviour orders have been imposed on shoplifters in each year since 2001. [279625]
Mr. Alan Campbell: Information on the grounds on which ASBOs are imposed is not collated centrally.
Antisocial Behaviour: South West
Mr. Sanders: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how much has been spent per head on tackling anti-social behaviour by each local authority in the South West in each of the last three years; [278952]
(2) if he will estimate the cost to (a) the economy and (b) the public purse of anti-social behaviour in each local authority area in the South West in the last year for which figures are available. [278953]
Mr. Alan Campbell: A one day count of antisocial behaviour issues undertaken by the Home Office in 2003 to understand the impact on key service providers estimated that the cost to Government agencies of responding to reports of antisocial behaviour in England and Wales was approximately £3.4 billion per year. The costs related only to the financial costs to agencies of dealing with antisocial behaviour and did not include indirect costs to local communities and businesses, as well as emotional costs to victims and witnesses. The cost of not taking action against antisocial behaviour is much higher.
Information on the amount spent by local authorities, including those in the South West Region, on tackling antisocial behaviour is not collected centrally. Home Office funding for local authorities to tackle antisocial behaviour now form part of the general Area Based Grant (ABG) paid by the Department of Communities and Local Government. This grant is designed to increase the funding flexibility and allow local areas much greater freedom to spend money in a way they see fit to support the delivery of local, regional and national priorities in their areas.
Other Home Office led activities also act to tackle antisocial behaviour, for example the introduction of community support officers in the South West region, but a monetary value cannot be assigned to that contribution. Similarly, other programmes and services contribute, sometimes indirectly, to tackling antisocial behaviour, including diversionary activities for young people, neighbourhood wardens, as well as neighbourhood policing and neighbourhood management.
Civil Nuclear Constabulary: Pay
Simon Hughes: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will review the salary structure of the Civil Nuclear Constabulary against relevant public sector comparators. [265921]
Mr. Woolas: The Civil Nuclear Constabulary falls under the responsibilities of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change.
Crime
Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer of 23 April 2009, Official Report, columns 851-52W, on crime, for which categories of incident data can be provided in respect of 2007-08. [279617]
Alan Johnson: Data for 2007-08 are held centrally for all core incident categories as defined in the National Incident Category List (NICL). The following is a complete list as it applied for 2007-08 for all police forces except for the Metropolitan Police Service, for whom only partial data under the antisocial behaviour theme are available. NICL is subject to annual review and amendment, when some categories may be deleted or revised, or new ones created.

Crime: Arrests
Andrew Rosindell: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people have been arrested for (a) immigration, (b) passport, (c) drug and (d) knife crime offences in the last 12 months. [278110]
Mr. Alan Campbell: The arrests collection held by the Home Office covers arrests for recorded crime (notifiable offences) only, broken down at a main offence group level, covering categories such as violence against the person, sexual offences, drug offences and robbery. Data on arrests for immigration, passport and knife crime offences are not available as it is not possible to identify specific offences from within the offence groups.
In 2007-08 (latest available) there were 104,532 persons arrested for drug offences in England and Wales.
The records held by the UK Border Agency for immigration offenders arrested nationally for immigration
related offences, including passport and documentation offences, show that 10,750 offenders were arrested in 2007-08. These UK Border Agency figures do not constitute part of National Statistics as they are based on internal management information. The information has not been quality assured under National Statistics protocols, should be treated as provisional and is subject to change.
The UK Border Agency adopts an intelligence and target led approach to operations and our top priority has been to protect the public and remove from the UK the most harmful people first. Based on UK Border Agency management information 5,395 foreign national prisoners were removed in 2008—exceeding our target of 5,000.
Crime: Parking
Mr. Sanders: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make it his policy to bring forward proposals to make nuisance parking on unadopted roads a criminal offence. [280267]
Mr. Khan: I have been asked to reply.
Traffic authorities already have wide-ranging powers under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to make Traffic Regulation Orders to restrict parking on any highway and other road to which the general public has access.
