§ Mr. HALL-CAINEasked the Home Secretary whether he can make any statement upon the raiding of a, gunsmith's shop in the West End by motor bandits who grievously injured a police-constable who tried to stop them; and whether, in view of the frequency of these offences, the Government can give facilities for the passing of the Banditry Bill?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI cannot usefully add anything to reports 'as to the facts of this case which have already appeared in the Press, and it would obviously be undesirable that I should make any statement as to the progress of police inquiries. As regards the second part of the question, I cannot express any opinion on the Bill referred to, which, I understand, has not yet been printed.
