HC Deb 25 October 1966 vol 734 cc156-7W
Mr. Hale

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many cases of alleged crime were tried in the most recent twelve months for ease of computation, before a High Court judge or Commissioner of Assize and a jury; and in how many cases the jury have failed to reach an agreed verdict.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

Information in this form is not available, but, in a sample of 536 trials before a jury at Assizes and the Central Criminal Court in 1965, there were 10 trials in which the jury disagreed.
