HC Deb 21 May 1963 vol 678 cc23-4W
60. Mr. W. Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, consequent on the publication of the Vassall Report, and in view of the many representations made to him from all sections of the community, he will now order the release of the journalist Mr. Brendan Mulholland.

Mr. Brooke

I regret that I can find no sufficient grounds to justify me in recommending the exercise of the Prerogative of Mercy to remit the remainder of Mr. Mulholland's sentence.

Mr. Spriggs

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department to what extent his crime statistics indicate the number of unmarked motor vehicles which have been used in robberies in each of the last three years.

Miss Pike

Information on these matters is not contained in the criminal statistics
