HC Deb 24 November 1971 vol 826 cc406-7W
Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prosecutions have been instituted pursuant to the provisions of Section 1 of the Accommodation Agencies Act, 1953; and how many convictions have resulted since its enactment.

Mr. Carlisle

The figures readily available for England and Wales are for the years 1964 to 1970. They are as follows:

Persons proceeded against Persons found guilty
1964 7 6
1965 1 1
1966 7 2
1967 5 4
1968 9 5
1969 3 3
1970 4 3

Corresponding information for earlier years could not be obtained without disproportionate cost.

Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prosecutions have been instituted in the Inner London area during 1970 and 1971 pursuant to the provisions of Section 1 of the Accommodation Agencies Act, 1953; and how many have resulted in convictions.

Mr. Carlisle

None in 1970. Figures for 1971 are not yet available.
