HC Deb 08 December 1980 vol 995 cc243-4W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Southend, East on 3 December, he would be willing to publish in the Official Report the information which he has received from Manx authorities regarding changes in the incidence of violence and vandalism since the European Court declared corporal punishment to be unlawful in February 1978; and if he will also publish the relevant statistics.

Mr. Brittan

The relevant information is contained in the annual reports of the Chief Constable of the Isle of Man. We are placing copies of these for the years 1976, 1977, 1978 and 1979 in the Library of the House.
