HC Deb 05 March 1979 vol 963 c543W
Mr. Carmichael

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many cases of serious assault on public house staff have been notified to the police in each of the past three years; and what range of sentences was imposed by the courts on those convicted of these assaults.

Mr. Harry Ewing

I regret that this information cannot be obtained without undue cost.

Mr. Carmichael

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received from the National Association of Public House Managers concerning assault on staff; what reply he has made; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Harry Ewing

My right hon. Friend has received no representations from this body.
