HC Deb 05 March 1931 vol 249 c618W
Dr. PETERS

asked the Home Secretary whether he has now considered the matter of poor prisoners' defence raised in an answer given on 12th November, 1929; and what conclusions he has come to with regard to amending the law to ameliorate the position of poor persons desirous of appealing?

Mr. CLYNES

I regret that in view of the pressure of other business I have had no sufficient opportunity for examining this difficult matter.
