HC Deb 07 July 1967 vol 749 c303W
Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many first offenders have been convicted of unlawful possession of drugs in each of the last 10 years; and in how many cases they were sentenced to a period of imprisonment or detention.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I regret that police reports on past offences of this kind do not indicate whether a convicted person was a first offender, but I have arranged that the police should provide this information in future.
