§ Mr. BUCHANANasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will consider 2115W the formation of a committee to inquire into the sentences passed in the various courts in Scotland, particularly on first offenders and young persons?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThe answer is in the negative. This subject will no doubt be considered in the Report of the Committee on the Treatment of Young Offenders in Scotland, which I expect to receive shortly.
