§ Mr. R. A. ButlerI regret that information in the precise form of the hon. Member's Question is not available.
The following table shows the number of women with no previous proved offences who were received in prison during 1960 under sentences of imprisonment of twelve months or more. Similar information for 1961 is not yet available, but I will arrange for it to be sent to the hon. Member in due course.
