HC Deb 23 May 1973 vol 857 c71W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many men, how many women, how many boys under 18 years of age and how many girls under 18 years of age, respectively, were reported as missing during each of the last five years for which records are available; and how many and what percentage in each category were subsequently traced.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The work involved in obtaining this information would place a considerable burden on police forces; and I do not feel justified in asking chief constables to provide it.
