HC Deb 19 June 1928 vol 218 c1588W
Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the case of Miss O'Malley, charged on 22nd May with molesting and annoying without any evidence being brought from those who were alleged to have been molested or annoyed; and whether, pending the Report of the Commission on Street Offences, he will take steps to check charges being brought under such circumstances?

Sir V. HENDERSON

As my right hon. Friend said, in replying to the hon. Member for Northampton (Mr. Malone) on the 7th instant, his attention has been drawn to this case. He would prefer to await the Report of the Committee before considering what changes in practice, if any, are desirable.
