HC Deb 13 June 1977 vol 933 c9W
Mr. Lee

asked the Attorney-General how many actions for malicious prosecution and false imprisonment have been instituted in the courts of England and Wales during the last 10 years; in how many cases damages were awarded to the plaintiff; and how many of such cases, both successful and unsuccessful, arose from allegations of rape or attempted rape.

The Attorney-General

I regret that this information is not readily available and could not be obtained without a disproportionate expenditure of effort and expense.
