§ MR. SAMUEL YOUNG (Cavan, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the practices prevailing in Glasgow whereby unfortunate girls who have been imprisoned are released by the payment of their fines by those who make a trade of immorality; and whether, to put a stop to this state of things, he will take stops to extend to Scotland the Act 62 Vict., c. 39, now in force in England.
§ * THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. A. GRAHAM MURRAY,) ButeshireThe attention of the Secretary for Scotland has been called to the subject referred to by the hon. Member, and he is in communication with the Glasgow authorities in regard to the best means of meeting the alleged evil, whether by extension of the Vagrancy Act of 1899 to Scotland, or other wise.
