Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Metropolitan Police officers there were serving in Lambeth in Safer Neighbourhood Teams in March of each year from 2005 to 2014.

The table provided contains statistics on the number and proportion of Metropolitan Police officers in the foot/car/beat/patrol function as at 31 March 2005 to 2008, and the number and proportion of Metropolitan Police officers in the neighbourhoods and response functions as at 31 March 2009 to 2014.

The Home Office does not collect these statistics for Lambeth or any other Basic Command Unit.
