HC Deb 06 November 1967 vol 753 c48W
Sir J. Hobson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has any further statement to make about the figures which he gave on 20th July 1967 about the child victims of murders under the age of 15 years.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

These show a considerable overstatement of the numbers of child murders. The following is the correct version of the table (which relates to England and Wales):

I am studying the need for further regulations dealing with the live and neutral cores in the light of an agreement on the colours to be adopted for these cores which has recently been reached by the European standards body concerned.
