HC Deb 25 March 1873 vol 215 cc104-5
MR. EYKYN

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If it is intended to bring forward the Public Prosecutors Bill this Session?

MR. BRUCE,

in reply, said, that his hon. Friend was aware that he had, on the part of the Government, undertaken last year to introduce a Bill, and he had not abandoned that intention. In consequence, however, of hearing that the Judicature Commission were about to take the question into consideration, he postponed the introduction of the Bill until he should have the benefit of the recommendations of the Commission. He had now had an opportunity of learning the opinions of the Commissioner, and the Bill which he hoped soon to introduce had been framed after consideration of those opinions, and in general conformity with them.
