(2) how many offences were drug related, including those not charged but taken into account, in the latest period for which figures are available;
(3) what proportion of the total number of offences recorded in the last 12 months were drug related.
I have been asked to reply.
Data collected centrally on recorded crime do not identify whether offences are drug related. We are unable to provide information on drug related offences committed by individuals or those taken into account. The recorded crime statistics do include the number of specific drug offences; there were 194,302 drug offences, in total, recorded in England and Wales in 2006-07.
