HC Deb 05 August 1875 vol 226 c559
SIR EARDLEY WILMOT

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If he has any objection to state what are the intentions of Her Majesty's Government in reference to any measure for the appointment of a Public Prosecutor?

MR. ASSHETON CROSS

, in reply, said, this was a matter which had occupied a good deal of his attention, and which he was most anxious to bring to a successful issue. He could not give any pledge or make any distinct promise as to next Session; but he would that evening lay upon the Table the Correspondence which had taken place between the Home Office and the authorities for various parts of the country under the late Administration with reference to the subject.
