§ Mr. Rowlandasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what proportion of trials by jury in Scotland reached a verdict of guilty in 1938, 1946 and each year since 1956.
§ Mr. William RossI regret that it would not be possible, without undue expenditure of time and labour, to produce information on the lines requested by my hon. Friend. However, a recent study suggests that approximately 79 per cent. of the persons tried by jury in Scotland in 1964 were found guilty.
