HC Deb 15 December 1980 vol 996 c1W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to be able to announce the results of his review of the law as it concerns shoplifting.

Mr. Brittan

The review, by the Home Office standing committee on crime prevention, of measures to prevent shoplifting is taking into account suggestions made by my hon. Friend and others about possible changes of law and practice in this field. The review will take some months to complete.
