asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the estimates which have been made by the British crime survey during the past five years of offences in the west midlands region related to vandalism, theft from vehicles, burglaries in dwellings, theft of vehicles, bicycle thefts, thefts in dwellings, other housing thefts, assaults, theft from persons/robbery, sexual offences and other personal thefts.

The samples used for the survey are not large enough to allow estimates to be made of the number of offences committed in particular police areas.
