HL Deb 23 March 1977 vol 381 cc620-1WA
Viscount DILHORNE

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many prosecutions there have been in each year since the Theft Act 1968 came into force for handling goods stolen abroad.

The MINISTER of STATE, HOME OFFICE (Lord Harris of Greenwich)

I regret that this information is not available: the way in which statistics are collected by individual police forces, and centrally by the Home Office, does not enable the information to be extracted.
