§ Sir A. Wilsonasked the Home Secretary whether and, if so, when it is proposed to give legislative effect to the recommendations of the Persistent Offenders' Committee, made seven years ago, to enable courts to pass sentences of detention other than imprisonment on persons requiring medical treatment who are not certifiably insane or mentally defective?
§ Sir J. SimonI regret that I am not at present in a position to add anything to the reply which was given on my behalf to a similar question by the hon. and gallant Member for the St. Marylebone Division (Captain Cunningham-Reid) on 11th February last.
