HC Deb 12 May 1949 vol 464 cc1982-3

The following Question stood upon the Order Paper in the name of Earl WINTERTON:

17. To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department the number of convictions and acquittals in sexual cases by magistrates and juries, respectively, in 1948.

Earl Winterton

As this Question asks for a number of figures I should prefer to have a written answer.

The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Ede)

I was quite prepared to give the figures.
