HC Deb 03 March 1989 vol 148 cc331-2W
Mr. Randall

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will list all new criminal offences enacted since 1979; if he will give details of the maximum penalty for each new criminal offence enacted since 1979; and if he will list all criminal offences abolished by legislation since 1979;

(2) how many criminal offences were (a) created and (b) abolished by legislation between 1974 and 1979.

Mr. John Patten

We maintain no running record of criminal offences created or abolished. The information requested could be extracted from the statutes themselves only at disproportionate cost.
