HC Deb 16 November 1933 vol 281 cc1098-9
36. Mr. T. SMITH

asked the Home Secretary if he is aware that on Saturday last at Bakewell a man was sentenced to three months' imprisonment for stealing a nut, valued at 2d., from another man's bicycle; and whether he intends to take any action to get the sentence reduced?

Sir J. GILMOUR

My attention has not previously been drawn to the case to which the hon. Member refers, but I am making inquiry and will communicate with him as soon as I am in a position to do so.
