§ 24. Mr. KIRKWOOD(for Mr. McGOVERN) asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many persons are undergoing terms of imprisonment for taking part in un- 1252 employed riots; and how many there were at the same period during 1931?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir Herbert Samuel)The number of persons who were under sentence in England and Wales on 1st March this year, after conviction on indictment of riot or unlawful assembly was 30, and the number on 1st March last year was 23; but I cannot say how many of these were unemployed. I regret that no other figures are available.
