§ Sir George Youngasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish the proportion of cases in which the accused has been found guilty by stipendiary magistrates hearing cases arising from Grunwick incidents and the proportions of those found guilty by justices of the peace.
§ Mr. JohnThe information could be obtained only at disproportionate cost, since the statistics collected centrally do not contain details; of the circumstances of offences and do not distinguish cases heard by stipendiary magistrates from those heard by lay justices.
