HC Deb 04 June 1965 vol 713 c289W
Mr. Lubbock

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation making it a criminal offence to offer a witness a sum of money or other inducement, beyond reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, so as to persuade him to give evidence in a court of law.

Sir F. Soskice

I have no sufficient reason to think that such legislation is needed.
