We do not have the information requested.
However some information on illegal income among arrested drug users in a sample of 16 custody suites is provided in research published by the Home Office in 2004 from the New English and Welsh Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring Programme (NEW ADAM). The report of the survey is available on the Home Office website (http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs04/rdsolr1904.pdf)
