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

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.
