§ Mr. Anthony Grantasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the number of cases of assaults known to the police on licensees of public houses in the years 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1975; and whether he is satisfied that the penalties for such assaults are adequate.
§ Mr. Alexander W. LyonI regret that the information sought in the first part of the Question is not available: the Criminal Statistics do not distinguish the victims of assault according to their occupation. On the second part I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 3rd March to a Question from the346W hon. Member for Uxbridge (Mr. Shersby). —[Vol. 906, c. 658.]
