§ Commander Locker-Lampsonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many men have been arrested for sodomy and at what expense.
§ Sir D. SomervellIn 1943, the last year for which complete figures are available, 106 males in England and Wales were proceeded against for unnatural offences, 508 for attempts to commit unnatural offences, and 272 for indecency with males, making a total of 886 cases. It is impossible to estimate what fraction of police expenditure should be assigned to the enforcement of this particular provision of the criminal law.
