§ Colonel DAYasked the Home Secretary if he will give the statistics he may have regarding the number of murders committed in the United States of America and the different countries of Europe; the number of executions where capital punishment exists; and the resulting effect of the abolition of capital punishment where it has been abolished during the last 30 years?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSComplete information as to murders, executions, and abolition of capital punishment in the United States and Europe is not available, and could not be collected. For these reasons I am unable to give the statistics asked for.
