Mr. Jim Cunningham: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people have been arrested for crimes connected
with (a) cocaine and (b) heroin use in each constituency in each year since 1997. [224333]
Caroline Flint: Data on crimes related to the drugs specified are not currently collated at constituency level. The Home Office
collates data at police force level on arrests for property crimes, but do not record whether they are related to an offender's drug
habit. However, data on drug offenders are collated at police force level.
Data on the numbers of people arrested for cocaine and heroin offences in the United Kingdom are available in the "Drug Seizure and
Offender Statistics, United Kingdom" Home Office statistical bulletin 2001 and 2002, and the Drug Offenders finding, for England and
Wales 2003. The area tables accompanying these publications provide a break down at police force level.

Mr. Jim Cunningham: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on links between drug and alcohol abuse and
domestic violence. [216333]
Ms Blears :[holding answer 21 February 2005]: We recognise that there are clear links between alcohol use and domestic
violence. Studies have shown that there are strong correlations between perpetrators of domestic violence and alcohol use. The
British Crime Survey indicated that 32 per cent. of incidents of intimate partner violence were committed when the
perpetrator was under the influence of alcohol (Mirlees- Black, 1999). However, it must be stated very strongly that alcohol is a
trigger for domestic violence and not a cause.
In relation to drug use and domestic violence, research from other countries has highlighted that there are clear links. In the UK,
research into the links between substance abuse and domestic violence was commissioned and then undertaken by the School of Health
and Social Studies at the University of Warwick. The research is now complete and we expect the findings to be published in April.
