asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state the latest available figures of convictions for crimes committed by West Indian, Irish, Indian and Pakistani immigrants, respectively; and how these compare with the average figures in the United Kingdom.

I regret that this information is not available since the Criminal Statistics are not kept in such a way as to show the places of origin of offenders unless special arrangements have been made for this to be done in respect of a particular offence.
