HC Deb 19 December 1957 vol 580 cc100-1W
Mr. Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take the necessary action to enable the Registrar-General to keep records and to publish details of numbers of suicides, analysed by categories of ascribed motive.

Mr. R. A. Butler

No. I do not think that motives could be ascribed with sufficient accuracy to produce an analysis of any value.
