James McMurdock
Independent, South Basildon and East Thurrock
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the number of high-street related crimes in a) England, b) Essex and c) South Basildon and East Thurrock in 2025.
Sarah Jones
The Minister of State, Home Department
The Home Office does not routinely collect or publish crime statistics for specific location types such as high streets and has therefore not made estimates of the number of high-street related crimes in England, Essex, or South Basildon and East Thurrock in 2025.
The Home Office collects and publishes information on the number of notifiable offences recorded by the police in England and Wales. This information is published as official statistics each quarter. The latest information, to the year ending December 2025, can be accessed here:

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
