Mr. Corbett
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what estimate he has made of the proportion of crime which is drug-related.
Mr. John Patten
The latest estimates are published in paragraph 2ยท4 of the 1991 report "Drug Misusers and the Criminal Justice System: Part 1 Community resources and the probation service" by the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, a copy of which is in the Library. These however relate only to heroin misusers and do not include estimates for crimes by other drug misusers.
