§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL (Kirkcaldy, &c.)asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Why statistics of crime (as distinguished from judicial statistics) are not given in the Annual Report regarding India presented to Parliament; and, whether such statistics are in any form presented; and, if so, whether he will see that they are in future presented, so as to enable the House to judge of the success or non-success of the present police system in keeping down crime in the various Provinces?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JOHN GORST) (Chatham)Table 153 of the Statistical Abstract gives the number of offences reported as well as of persons brought to trial. More detailed information is contained in the Provincial and Departmental Administration Reports, which are accessible at the India Office to persons engaged in the line of research indicated by the hon. Member.
