Mr. W. H. K. Bakerasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give details for each of the past 16 years to the nearest convenient date of the number of persons convicted of murder in Scotland who were released from prison, stating how long each one had been in prison.
§ Mr. Ross:I refer to the reply that I gave to the hon. Member for Glasgow, Cathcart (Mr. Edward M. Taylor) on 7th May. In addition, two prisoners were released in 1954, one after 4 years 8 months and one after 8 years 9 months; and one has been released since 7th May, after 11 years 8 months.— [Vol. 801, c. 177–8]
