Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill.

HC Deb 15 October 1918 vol 110 c26

15. Mr. KING

asked the Prime Minister whether it is intended to pass the Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill [Lords] this Session; and whether it is the policy of the Government to maintain Regulation 40D till this or some similar Bill becomes law?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The Bill and Regulation are now being considered by Committees, and it is obvious that no announcement as to the policy of the Government can be made until those Committees have reported.

Mr. KING

May I ask if any announcement cannot be made as to when a decision will be taken?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I stated that an announcement could not be made as to a decision until the Committee has reported.
