§ Sir P. Rawlinsonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, eliminating all family murders or murders 194W not involving the commission of any other crime, how many murders known to the police in England and Wales were committed in 1964, 1965, and the first nine months of 1966.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsIn 1964 19 murders were known to the police in England and Wales which were not family murders and apparently did not involve the commission of another crime. The corresponding figure for 1965 was 15. These figures are based on the corrected murder figures, and, as I said on 16th November in reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Louth (Sir C. Osborne) the corrected 1966 figures will not be published until after the end of the year.—[Vol. 736, c.133.]
