HC Deb 20 April 1874 vol 218 c816
MR. M. T. BASS

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he is prepared on a convenient opportunity to introduce a measure to remedy the admitted defects of the Law of Imprisonment for debt?

MR. ASSHETON CROSS

, in reply, said, that after the difference of opinion which had been expressed he could not adopt the phrase "admitted defects of the Law;" but if the hon. Member would suggest a remedy that was not on the lines on which his Bill was drawn, he would give the subject due consideration.
