§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Home Secretary whether he has yet issued Regulations under Part I of Section 8 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1925; and whether he is aware that considerable inconvenience and uncertainty is being caused by delay in this connection, especially in view of the fact that the provisions of the Act in this connection become operative on 1st July, 1926?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS:A preliminary Circular about Part I of the Criminal Justice Act, 1925, is being sent in a day or two to all Courts and local authorities concerned. The Rules cannot be made until Part I of the Act comes into force on the 1st July next, but a draft is in active preparation and will be issued next month.
