HC Deb 17 December 1964 vol 704 c126W
Sir Richard Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in how many cases of capital murder, in the three years to the last convenient date, the accused was convicted of murdering a wife or husband, son, daughter or parent; if he will give corresponding figures for cases where the victim was a member of the murderer's household but not a relation; and if he will state these two figures as a proportion of the total number of capital murders in the same period.

Sir F. Soskice

In the years 1961–1963 no person was convicted of the capital murder of his wife, husband, son, daughter or parent or of a member of his household. The total number of convictions of capital murder during the period was 17.
