HL Deb 29 March 1971 vol 316 c1206WA
LORD GARDINER

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many of the sentences of imprisonment for terms exceeding seven years referred to in paragraph 6 of the Law Commission's Report on Offences of Damage to Property were for crimes which would fall within Clause 4(1) of the Criminal Damage Bill.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR (LORD HAILSHAM OF ST. MARYLEBONE)

Twenty-one of these twenty-seven cases related to offences of arson. I regret that particulars of the other six cases are not readily available, but they were not for arson.
