§ 23. Mr. KINGasked the Home Secretary whether he can now receive the deputation of women's organisations opposed to the proposals of the Criminal Law Amendment Bill which were anxious to lay their views before him last Session?
§ Sir G. CAVEThe Select Committee appointed to consider this Bill will, no doubt, be willing to receive evidence from representatives of women's organisations. If, after the Committee has reported, it is desired that I should receive a deputation upon the subject, I shall be ready to do so.
§ Mr. KINGInasmuch as the Home Secretary has received deputations for this Bill, is it not only fair and even sportsmanlike to hear the other side?
§ Sir G. CAVEI entirely agree, and I am willing to do so.
