PROSECUTION OF OFFENCES ACT, 1879—THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS—THE REGULATIONS.

HC Deb 28 May 1883 vol 279 cc955-6

SIR HENRY HOLLAND

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he will lay upon the Table of the House a Copy of the Regulations prescribed for the Director of Public Prosecutions under "The Prosecution of Offences Act, 1879?"

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

I believe, Sir, that the Papers were presented in 1880; but I am afraid, by some oversight, they were not printed.

MR. GORST

Will the right hon. and learned Gentleman undertake that the Vote for the Public Prosecutor shall not be taken until the information required is given?

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

was understood to say that the House should be supplied with the information required.
