§ 63. Sir J. Hobsonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many new criminal offences which were not criminal offences on 15th October, 1964, have between that date and the latest convenient date after 1st January, 1966, been created, specifying each such new criminal offence and the means by which it was created; and if he will give the like information as to any new criminal offences proposed in Government Bills or published draft instruments.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsAll new offences of national application are created by Acts of Parliament or Statutory Instruments 99W which are readily available. In addition there are offences created by local Acts and bye-laws. I do not think that the work involved in the collation of information in the form suggested by the right hon. and learned Gentleman would be justified.
