HC Deb 15 March 1933 vol 275 cc1963-4
38. Mr. LLEWELLYN-JONES

asked the Attorney-General whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce legislation at an early date to give effect to the recommendations contained in the interim Report of the Business of Courts Committee presented by the Lord High Chancellor to Parliament, or whether it is proposed to delay the introduction of legislation until the final report is presented?

39 and 40. Mr. TEMPLE MORRIS

asked the Attorney-General (1) whether he can make a statement to the House as to when His Majesty's Government will introduce legislation to deal with the recommendations of the recent Report of the Lord Chancellor's Committee on Law Reform;

(2) whether, in view of the need for economy, legislation will be introduced at the earliest possible moment to abolish the grand jury system, in view of the recommendation of the Lord Chancellor's Committee on Law Reform.

The ATTORNEY - GENERAL (Sir Thomas Inskip)

The introduction of such legislation as may be necessary to give effect to the recommendations contained in the interim report is now under consideration. It is proposed to take immediate action to bring into operation such of the recommendations of the Committee as do not require legislation.
