HC Deb 12 February 1971 vol 811 c271W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Attorney-General if he will publish any readily available statistics for the incidence of divorce and separation in the years 1960 to 1970.

The Attorney-General

Information relating to divorce proceedings is published annually in the Civil Judicial Statistics. The number of matrimonial orders, including separation orders, made in magistrates' courts is published annually in the Criminal Statistics for England and Wales. The figures for 1970, however, are not yet available.
