§ Sir C. Osborneasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many murders are known to the police in 1966 to the latest convenient date; and what were the corresponding figures for the same period for each of the preceding five years, using the term murder to cover the same crimes for the whole period.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsAs my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State indicated in reply to a Question by the hon. Member on 19th May, the corrected murder figures are normally published for complete years only, and these are the murder figures used as the basis of comparison between different years. I hope to be able to give the 1966 figures next May.—[Vol. 728, c.292.]
