HC Deb 12 April 1962 vol 657 c157W
47. Mr. Fitch

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what percentage of the girls under 21 years of age receiving sentences of imprisonment of less than six months during the year 1961 were convicted of offences concerned with prostitution.

Mr. Fletcher-Cooke

Statistics for 1961 are not yet available. In 1960, 66 per cent. of the girls under 21 years of age sentenced to imprisonment for terms of six months or less without the option of a fine had been convicted of offences concerned with prostitution.
