"A Review of Criminal Justice Policy"

HC Deb 22 January 1980 vol 977 c105W

Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he endorses the views contained in "A Review of Criminal Justice Policy".

Mr. Whitelaw

This Home Office working paper, prepared under the previous Administration, consists for the most part of an analysis of objectives in the criminal justice field and a summary of the findings of research completed at that time. I broadly agree with the main conclusions set out in paragraph 17 of the working paper. If the hon. Member wishes to raise any point on other sections of the paper, I shall be glad to consider his further inquiry.
