HC Deb 09 February 1977 vol 925 c697W
Mr. Corrie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many persons in Scotland who received bail were arrested for further offences before trial in 1976.

Mr. Harry Ewing

Information of this kind is not regularly collected, but I would refer the hon. Member to the illustrative data contained in the Scottish Office research study "Pre-Trial Bail and Custody in the Scottish Sheriff Courts" published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office last year.
