HC Deb 19 December 1968 vol 775 cc444-5W
Mr. Hobden

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the number of suspended sentences given in cases dealt with by Brighton Magistrates' Court during the past year.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

Up to 30th September, 1968 (the latest date for which information is available) suspended sentences of imprisonment were passed by the Brighton magistrates' court on 134 offenders. This figure, which is provisional, excludes sentences passed in respect of offences originally dealt with by a probation order or an order for conditional discharge.
