§ Mr. Bill WalkerTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many persons in Scotland have been convicted of homicide in the period since 1965 who had previously been convicted and sentenced for homicide; and if he will make a statement.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonSince 1965, four people with a previous murder conviction have been convicted of murder. Comparable information about homicides other than murder is not readily available and could not be obtained except at disproportionate cost.
