Mr. Goodhart
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many Metropolitan policemen were detained in hospital as a result of injuries received on duty in 1958, 1968 and 1978.
Dr. Summerskill
I regret that the information is not available for 1958 and 1968, nor, in precisely the form required, for 1978. In 1978, however, 22 officers were admitted to hospital as a result of being assaulted while on duty.
