Drug Addicts

Mr. Amess
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many registered class A drug addicts there were in Basildon in the years 1980 to 1985.

Mr. Mellor
I refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave to his question on 11 January at columns 559–60. The only information which has since become available is the provisional figures for new addicts notified in the Essex police force area in 1984, given in the reply to a question from my hon. Friend the Member for Westminster, North (Mr. Wheeler) on 11 June 1985 at columns 394–95.
