Mr. Byrne: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many offenders per head of population charged with trigger offences have tested positive for (a) opiates and (b) crack cocaine in (i) Birmingham, (ii) Bristol, (iii) Leeds, (iv) Liverpool, (v) Manchester, (vi) Newcastle, (vii) Nottingham and (viii) Sheffield in the last 12 months. [214016] Caroline Flint: The Home Office does not collect drug test data based on offenders per head of population. Instead, data is collected on drug tests arising from offenders charged with specified offences in 47 DAT areas with the highest levels of acquisitive crime. The following table breaks down the positive drug test results recorded for opiates (heroin), cocaine/crack or both in relevant areas between January--December 2004. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mr. Byrne: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will estimate the percentage of crime linked to drug misuse in (a) Birmingham, (b) Bristol, (c) Leeds, (d) Liverpool, (e) Manchester, (f) Newcastle, (g) Nottingham and (h) Sheffield in the last 12 months. [214017] Caroline Flint: Recorded crime figures are used to measure the extent of crime in local areas. Although these include statistics on drugs offences--such as possession--and on property crimes--such as burglary--they do not contain information on the offender's drug habits. It is therefore not possible to estimate from these statistics the percentage of all crime which is linked to the need to support a drug habit. However, since April 2003 offenders charged in certain areas with certain offences known to be commonly committed by drug users have been tested for opiates (heroin) and cocaine/crack as part of the Drug Interventions Programme. The following table summarises the total number of offenders tested, and the numbers and percentages of those testing positive for opiates or crack/cocaine between January and December 2004 in the 47 DATs that operate drug testing on charge as part of the Drug Interventions Programme. This gives some indication of the proportion of property crime that may be linked to drug use, although it should be noted that not all crime by drug users is necessarily committed to support their habit.
