Mr. DUNDAS WHITEasked the Home Secretary if he will take steps to secure an early consolidation into one enactment of the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1885, the Vagrancy Act, 1898, the Immoral Traffic (Scotland) Act, 1902, and the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1912, with a view to simplifying and facilitating the administration of the provisions which they contain?
