§ Mr. Higgsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department the date of the latest circular letter from his Department containing advice on the procedure for the recovery of penalties under Section 28 of the Town Police Clauses Act, 1847; and whether he will now give fresh advice in view of subsequent decisions of the courts.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeI cannot find that a circular letter has been issued by the Home Office on this subject. I am not aware that there is need for general guidance, but if my hon. Friend will let me know of any difficulties which have been brought to his notice, I shall be glad to examine them.
