HC Deb 05 May 1927 vol 205 cc1747-8
9. Sir PATRICK FORD

asked the Home Secretary whether the proposed inquiry into the solicitation laws will be extended to Scotland as well as England; and if Scotland will be given representation on the committee or, if a committee representative of both countries is considered impracticable, will a Scottish committee be appointed?

8. Dr. DRUMMOND SHIELS

asked the Home Secretary if the proposed departmental committee on the solicitation laws will include Scotland in its sphere of inquiry; will Scotland be given representation on the committee; and, if that is not considered practicable, will a separate Scottish committee be appointed?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

It is intended that the proposed inquiry should extend to Scotland and that a person residing in Scotland should be appointed to the committee.

Mr. RHYS-DAVIES

Will a representative from Wales be on the Committee as well?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

If it is necessary.
