HC Deb 11 May 1972 vol 836 c409W
47. Mr. Edward Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many persons were charged with murder in 1971; how many were found guilty; and if he will give the comparable figures in each of the previous years since 1956.

Mr. Carlisle:

So far as concerns England and Wales, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave to his Question on 19th January. The murder figures for 1971 are not yet available.—[Vol. 829, c. 204.]
