82. Mr. ROWNTREE

asked the Home Secretary whether it is his intention to introduce and pass into law this Session a Bill to make obligatory wherever possible the allowing to offenders of time for the payment of fines in lieu of imprisonment?

Mr. McKENNA

I propose to introduce a Bill for this purpose at an early date, and earnestly hope it may pass into law.
