HC Deb 27 August 1889 vol 340 c599
MR. W. A. MACDONALD

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Government will, during the Recess, consider and mature a scheme for the establishment of a Court of Criminal Appeal, and will introduce into this House, and do their utmost to carry through Parliament, next Session, a measure dealing with the subject?

MR. GOSCHEN

The question of establishing a Court of Criminal Appeal is an important one, and will not be lost sight of in the Recess; but I have no authority to give the specific pledge which the hon. Gentlemen desires.
