§ SIR EARDLEY WILMOTasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to appoint Directors of Criminal Investigations in other districts of England and Wales in addition to the appointment already made for the Metropolis, or whether the Government has in contemplation any other measure for the improved administration of Criminal Justice?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS,in reply, said, he hoped it might be possible that certain officers of this kind might be appointed throughout the country. What the Government proposed to do in this matter was to introduce a Bill to consolidate the law relating to coroners, and also a measure in regard to the offices to which the hon. and learned Member referred rather than to that of a county prosecutor; and it was his intention, if the House consented to those Bills being read a second time, to refer both to a Select Committee, in order that the matter might be fully discussed.
