HC Deb 02 May 1934 vol 289 c312
46. Brigadier-General SPEARS

asked the Home Secretary when he will introduce legislation to amend the Vagrancy Act?

Sir J. GILMOUR

In view of the pressure of other Parliamentary business, I cannot say at present when it may be possible to introduce legislation on this subject : but the matter will not be overlooked, and I hope to be in a position to make a statement at an early date.

Brigadier-General SPEARS

May I ask my right hon. Friend to remember that we have long been awaiting a decision on the subject?
