HC Deb 02 February 1978 vol 943 c281W
Mr. Lawrence

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many juvenile offences and how many juvenile offenders there have been in the Burton on Trent petty sessional area in each of the past five years; and what were the age groups of the latter.

Mr. John

Juvenile offences are known only if the offender is apprehended. I regret that the information on juvenile offenders could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
