§ Mr. Laneasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the Chief Constable of the Mid-Anglia Constabulary regarding the numbers of residents in the city of Cambridge who have been charged so far this year with indictable and non-indictable offences, respectively, and the numbers within these totals who were undergraduates.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsThe chief constable informs me that, during the first nine months of 1967, there appeared before the Cambridge City magistrates' court 337 people (of whom 13 were undergraduates) charged with indictable offences and 4,495 people (of whom 240 were undergraduates) charged with non-indictable offences. It would involve a disproportionate effort to find out how many of those so charged were resident 309W in Cambridge, and how many Cambridge residents were charged in other courts during the same period.
