§ Mrs. WINTRINGHAMasked the Home Secretary if he will give information as to the date when the publication of the criminal statistics for 1922 may be expected, in view of the lapse of time since the Report for 1921 was issued; and whether copies of the criminal statistics will be circulated officially to all benches of magistrates, in addition to the circulation of official copies to all police authorities?
Mr. HENDERSONIt is hoped that the volume will be issued early next month. Copies are spplied officially to all superior Criminal Courts, including Recorders and Chairmen of Quarter Sessions, but I am afraid it is not possible to make a free issue to all benches of magistrates.
