Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information her Department holds on (a) the level of reported property crime including burglaries for each of the last five years in Worcester and (b) the proportion of such crimes that have been solved.

Data supplied by police forces and held by the Home Office relate to the number of property crimes recorded by (rather than reported to) the police. Figures for each of the last 5 years for South Worcestershire Community Safety
Partnership (CSP) are given in the table. The whole of the Worcester constituency is contained within this CSP.

The Home Office does not hold data centrally on the outcomes of crimes at CSP level. This information is only held at police force area level.
