§ Mr. Dellasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in the light of his findings on the use of social inquiry reports before sentences of imprisonment are imposed, he will reconsider the need for further inquiry on the extent to which sentences of imprisonment are being imposed on unrepresented defendants.
§ Mr. CarlisleThe survey of the use of social inquiry reports did not cover the question of legal representation. I am considering what further inquiries might be appropriate.
