HC Deb 07 May 1986 vol 97 cc125-6W
Mr. Maclennan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the total number of individuals in Scotland sentenced to life imprisonment between 1965 and 1985, other than for the crime of murder; and for what crimes the sentence was imposed.

Mr. John MacKay

I regret that this information is not maintained in the form requested. I understand, however, that among persons currently in custody the crimes other than murder to which an indeterminate sentence was imposed between 1965 and 1985 include attempted murder (three cases), culpable homicide (five cases), robbery (one case), rape (one case), incest (one case) and wilful fire raising (one case).
