§ Mr. DAYasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the large number of blackmail cases that have recently appeared before The Courts; and whether he will appoint a Departmental Committee to consider the whole subject with a view to the introduction of legislation which will give police authorities power to arrange with persons prosecuting in such cases that their names shall be suppressed?
§ Mr. CLYNESI have not noticed anything in the reports of such cases to suggest that there is any occasion for appointing a committee, or for considering the introduction of a Bill.
