Mr. Spearing: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the cost to public funds of (a) arrested but unconvicted persons by the Metropolitan police in relation to court proceedings, (b) costs incurred by (i) the Metropolitan police and (ii) the Home Office for secure transport of those convicted and (c) the total costs of transport for the years (1) 1994-95 and (2) 1995-96, indicating the number of specialist vehicles and persons used by the providers in each year. [8808] Miss Widdecombe: [holding answer 16 December 1996]: The cost to public funds of arrested but unconvicted persons by the Metropolitan police in relation to court proceedings is not available in the form requested. Costs incurred by (i) the Metropolitan Police and (ii) the Home Office for secure transport of those convicted are as follows: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1994-95 1995-96 Total cost to the metropolitan police £3.9 million £1.4 million Recovery from the Home Office £1.5 million £0.8 million Net cost to metropolitan police £2.4 million £0.6 million Cost to the metropolitan police of vehicles £505 thousand £127 thousand (included in costs above) Costs to Home Office of vehicles (included £426 thousand £235 thousand in costs above) Number of vehicles 52 30 Number of staff 77 26 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. The costs do not include the costs of special escort duties provided by the Metropolitan police or the Home Office in the conveyance of prisoners between Crown court and prison. In the years 1994-95 and 1995-96 the responsibility for the escort of prisoners in London, other than those in the highest security category, to and from Court was in the process of being transferred from the police and the Prison Service to Securicor Custodial Services. This exercise was only completed in July 1995. The contract covers the full escort service, together with the responsibility for the custody of prisoners while at court. It is on a fixed-price basis and the component elements, such as transportation, are not costed separately. The requested information is not, therefore, available. In 1995-96, Securicor employed approximately 900 staff and 150 specialist vehicles on the contract. The total value is approximately £96 million over five years.

[6690] Mr. Maclean: [holding answer 2 December 1996]: Police officers who may have committed a disciplinary or criminal offence may be suspended by a chief officer. Officers are suspended on full pay except where they may be detained in pursuance of a sentence of a court or are in custody between conviction of a court and sentence, or in circumstances where they may have absented themselves from duty and their whereabouts are unknown to the chief officer. Table 1 gives details of the numbers of Metropolitan police officers, including those attached to the south-east regional crime squad, who are currently suspended, and the length of the suspension.

Mr. Michael: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many investigations into allegations of corruption involving officers (a) of the Metropolitan police, (b) serving with the the National Criminal Intelligence Service and (c) serving with the south-east regional crime squad have been (i) started and (ii) concluded in each of the past 10 years and in the current year. [6691] Mr. Maclean: [holding answer 2 December 1996]: Tables 1(i) and 1(ii) set out the numbers of investigations into allegations of corrupt practice against Metropolitan police officers arising from complaints from members of the public or arising from internal sources or internal investigations into corrupt practice, and the outcome of the investigations. The National Criminal Intelligence Service was formed 1 April 1992 and the south-east regional crime squad was set up on 1 April 1993. Police officers are seconded to these organisations from the Metropolitan Police service and from provincial forces. The responsibility for the conduct of any criminal or disciplinary investigation and, if appropriate, the suspension of seconded officers, rests with an officer's home force. Figures for NCIS and SERCS are included, therefore within the Metropolitan police service figures. I understand that there have been no other corruption investigations or allegations relating to officers seconded to these organisations from other forces. Table 1(i) and 1(ii) give figures from 1987 and 1994 onwards. Figures before these years are not readily available and can be obtained only at disproportionate cost. A recorded case may include more than one allegation. In general terms, because of the nature of the investigations, an investigated case is unlikely to be completed in the year in which it is recorded. Table 1(i): Complaints from the public of corrupt practice against Metropolitan police officers between 1987 and 1996 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1st half 1996 Cases 28 53 45 44 39 34 25 35 19 11 recorded Allegations 34 40 33 28 26 24 27 54 40 24 completed Informal 0 5 5 3 5 3 0 6 3 0 resolutions Withdrawn 16 13 12 8 7 8 6 12 8 5 Dispensation 3 4 2 2 3 4 8 10 13 7 s granted Unsubstantia 11 17 13 13 10 7 11 26 15 11 ted Substantiate 4 1 1 2 1 2 2 0 1 1 d _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mr. Michael: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list for (a) the Metropolitan police force, (b) the south-east regional crime squad and (c) the National Criminal Intelligence Service, for each of the last 10 years (i) how many officers were investigated for corruption, (ii) for how long officers under investigation were suspended broken down by three-month intervals, (iii) the outcome of the investigation and (iv) how many officers investigated for corruption resigned their position (1) while suspended and (2) within a year of investigations being completed or discontinued. [6689] Mr. Maclean: [holding answer 2 December 1996]: Information on the number of officers investigated for corruption is not available for the period requested as records were not kept by type of allegation. Table 1 sets out, from 1990 onwards, the numbers of Metropolitan police officers who were suspended for corruption, and the breakdown of the length of the suspension. Table 1 also gives details of the outcome of the investigations, including the numbers of those under investigation who were required to resign or who resigned from the service before their case was heard by a disciplinary board. The information requested at iv. (2) is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. The National Criminal Intelligence Service was formed on 1 April 1992 and the south-east regional crime squad was formed on 1 April 1993. Police officers are seconded to these organisations from the Metropolitan police service and from provincial forces. The responsibility for the conduct of any criminal or disciplinary investigation and, if appropriate, for the suspension of seconded officers rests with an officer's home force. Figures for NCIS and SERCS are included, therefore, within the Metropolitan police service figures. I understand that there have been no other corruption investigations or suspensions relating to officers seconded to these organisations from other forces.
