§ MR. SEYMOUR ORMSBY-GORE (Lincolnshire, Gainsborough)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the Government will be prepared to bring in legislation dealing with the Vagrancy Acts as a whole.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. AKERS-DOUGLAS,) Kent, St. Augustine'sI am not aware that the Vagrancy Acts as a whole require amendment. The question whether the law with regard to vagrancy might not in some particulars be strengthened and extended is under consideration, but the matter is not ripe for any statement as to legislation.
