HC Deb 09 February 1976 vol 905 c32W
22. Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Trade how many prosecutions have been launched during each of the past five years against merchant seamen for homosexual conduct with other seamen in a British ship; and what was the number of convictions in such cases.

Mr. Clinton Davis

The information is not available. Criminal statistics of this sort maintained by the Home Office do not distinguish between merchant seamen and other occupations.
