asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the extent of the hurt sustained in each of the 918 crimes of violence against the person which took place in Glasgow in 1965; how long the wound took to heal; what penalties were imposed on the criminals; and what were their ages.

Mr. Ross

The figure of 918 quoted by the hon. Member relates to crimes of violence made known to the police in Glasgow in 1965.

The tables set out below show the penalties imposed on the 316 persons against whom a charge was proved in respect of crimes of violence in Glasgow in 1965, and their ages.
