HC Deb 25 July 1929 vol 230 cc1528-9W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the increase of serious crimes committed by professional criminals as soon as they emerge from prison after serving short sentences; and whether he will appoint a committee to consider whether it is possible to devise more effective means of treating these persons whose liberty constitutes a danger to society?

Mr. CLYNES

This subject is having my attention, but I am not yet in a position to formulate proposals.
