HC Deb 11 March 1986 vol 93 c409W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prosecutions have taken place in each of the last three years for offences in relation to marriage services conducted in the United Kingdom in contravention of the Marriage Acts.

Mr. Mellor

Records available to me, which may be incomplete, cover only England and Wales and show three persons proceeded against in 1982 for offences against the Marriage Acts 1949 and 1954, none in 1983 and none in 1984. Corresponding information for 1985 is not yet available.
