HC Deb 28 April 1983 vol 41 c373W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state the number of people prosecuted under section 18 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 for carrying out the practice known as female circumcision since 1960.

Mr. Mayhew

The information collected centrally does not separately identify cases involving female circumcision.
