HC Deb 23 February 1981 vol 999 cc286-7W
Mr. Blackburn

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish in the Official Report the number of convictions recorded for each of the last five years for offences against the Protection of Animals (Scotland) Acts 1912 to 1965.

Mr. Rifkind

The offences in question are not separately classified in returns made to my Department. The information asked for is therefore not available.
