HC Deb 21 February 1922 vol 150 c1709
39. Major C. LOWTHER

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the remarks made by the learned judge on Saturday, when charging the grand jury at Hereford, as to the unnecessary duplication of proceedings in coroners' and magistrates' courts in certain cases; and whether he is prepared to introduce legislation to give effect to the learned judge's recommendations?

Mr. SHORTT

The suggested amendment in the law will be considered in connection with a Bill which is now being drafted.

Major LOWTHER

When may we expect the Bill?

Mr. SHORTT

I regret that I cannot give the assurance asked for.
