HC Deb 17 January 1978 vol 942 c140W
Mr. Warren

asked the Lord President of the Council if he will collect and publish statistics to show how many hon. Members have served for periods of less than five years, and also for periods of less than 10 years, and have not subsequently sought re-election in each case as parliamentary candidates since the 1951 General Election.

Mr. Foot

I regret that these statistics are not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
