HC Deb 07 February 1963 vol 671 c641
4. Mr. Shepherd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will state the nationalities of persons charged with crimes of violence in the United Kingdom in the year 1961.

Mr. Fletcher-Cooke

My right hon. Friend regrets that this information is not available.

Mr. Shepherd

Can my hon. and learned Friend say whether we shall be able to discover from the figures of deportations the nationalities of those deported for crimes of violence?

Mr. Fletcher-Cooke

The statistics will give, in the round, only the countries to which the deportees go, and they are not necessarily nationals of those countries. But the details provide a pretty good idea of the countries of origin, and I have no doubt that various conclusions can be drawn from them.
