HC Deb 19 June 1978 vol 952 cc64-5W
Mr. Frank Maguire

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland on how many occasions between 1st January 1978 and 1st June 1978 Northern Ireland magistrates or judges have imposed a penalty upon any convicted person of a period of imprisonment not exceeding a total of seven days.

Mr. Mason

The information is not available in the form requested and could not be obtained without disproportionate expense. However, two persons were actually received in prison to serve terms of seven days or less during the period mentioned.
