HC Deb 25 March 1907 vol 171 c1507
MR. MOONEY (Newry)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the number of habitual criminals at large in England under police supervision during the years 1902, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906, and the months of January and February, 1907.

MR. GLADSTONE

The figures for 1906 are not yet complete, and monthly Returns on this subject are not made to the Home Office. The number of persons under police supervision for the years 1901 to 1905 were 2,769, 2,542, 2,531, 2,778, 3,050.

MR. STANLEY WILSON

How many of them are of Irish birth and what proportion are they to the population?
