HC Deb 04 April 1922 vol 152 c2015
41. Major CHRISTOPHER LOWTHER

asked the Home Secretary when he will be in a position to introduce a Bill dealing with the question of the duplication of proceedings in magistrates and coroners' courts?

Mr. SHORTT

It is proposed to deal with this question in the Coroners Bill, but I cannot at present say when it will be introduced.

Major LOWTHER

What is the cause of the delay in introducing the Bill, which the right hon. Gentleman said is so urgent?

Mr. SHORTT

There are a number of causes. One is pressure of other business.
