HC Deb 10 August 1920 vol 133 c248W
Mr. GLANVILLE

asked the Home Secretary whether the Government will consider the establishment of a Commission to secure the effective carrying out of probation throughout the country?

Mr. SHORTT

Legislation would be required to establish a Commission, and that is not at present practicable, but I have already had the question of what steps should be taken to secure the effective carrying out of the probation system under consideration, and I am considering the appointment of a Committee at an early date.
