§ Sir WILLIAM BYLESasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the statistics furnished in the annual statistical abstract regarding the number of persons sentenced to death refer to capital sentences or to the number of persons actually executed; and whether in future 514W abstracts he will be able to show the number of sentences and executions separately?
Mr. BAKERThe statistics refer to capital sentences. The hon. Member's suggestion that the number of executions should also be stated has been noted, and will be acted on in future issues of the statistical abstract.
