§ Mr. MORGAN JONESasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been directed to the delay in discharging Mr. Willie Morgan, of Newport, who had been arrested on the charge of having caused the death of his mother; whether he is aware that the charge has been withdrawn; whether he will consider as to how the law may be amended so as to permit of the immediate discharge of persons against whom the Crown is unwilling to proceed with its charge; and whether, having regard to all the circumstances, some compensation will be offered to Mr. Morgan for the injury in which such a prosecution has involved him?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on Thursday last to the hon. Member for the Pontypridd Division (Mr. Mardy Jones) with regard to this case. It is not one in which any grant can be made from public funds to the defendant.
