HC Deb 13 December 1960 vol 632 cc35-6W
85. Mr. C. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in how many cases courts have, under Section 11 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1948, ordered offenders to pay damages for injury or compensation; and what has been the average amount so ordered.

Mr. R. A. Butler

Between 1st January, 1950, and 31st December, 1959, 34,642 orders were made under Section 11 (2) of the Criminal Justice Act, 1948, in connection with probation orders. I regret that I have no information about the amounts ordered to be paid in these cases, or about the number of cases in which such orders were made in conjunction with orders for absolute or conditional discharge.
