Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people of each recorded ethnic group were (a) subject to stop and search and (b) subsequently arrested in (i) London and (ii) each London borough in (A) 2010, (B) 2011, (C) 2012, (D) 2013 and (E) 2014
Answered by Mike Penning
Table 1 shows the number of stops and searches made by police in the Metropolitan Police Service and the City of London Police combined, for each financial year from 2009/10-2013/14. Table 2 shows the number of these stops and searches that resulted in arrests in each of these years. In both tables data are shown for each different ethnic group, as well as a total across all groups.
The Home Office does not hold data centrally for lower levels of geography, such as individual London boroughs.

Asked by: Sadiq Khan (Labour - Tooting)
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of Metropolitan Police time was spent on the front line in each year since 2008.
Answered by Mike Penning
The Home Office does not hold information centrally on the proportion of police time spent on the front line.
The Home Office does collect police officer functions data, which is used by HMIC to calculate the number of operational frontline police officers in each police force area. These figures (and information on visible police officers) are published from 2010 onwards as part of the ‘Valuing the Police’ inspection programme, which can be found at: http://www.hmic.gov.uk/data/valuing-the-police-data/. These figures relate to each officer’s predominant function over the year, rather than the proportion of their working time.
According to HMIC figures, as at 31 March 2015, 91% of Met police officers’ predominant function over the year was on the front line.

Note that:
• Her Majesty’s Passport Service was omitted from our 09/10 figures. At the
time, HMPO had its own accounts and budgets.
• For 14/15, expenditure on Information Technology and Communications was reclassified from an internal cost, to a contracted out service.
• Expenditure on Information Technology and Communications was reclassified
from an internal cost, to a contracted out service.
• Between 09/10 and 10/11we restated the Core Tables to reflect the inclusion
of a Police Grant (relating to the rates) that was previously paid by DCLG, but
which at that time became part of Home Office’s remit. This accounts for the
£3 billion step-change in Home Office expenditure
