§ Sir A. Wilsonasked the Home Secretary whether, and, if so, when, the Government will institute a public inquiry into certain aspects of the work of courts of summary jurisdiction, with a view to considering what amendments are desirable for facilitating consolidation of the existing law upon lines which will promote simplicity and uniformity?
§ Sir J. SimonA committee is at present engaged in considering certain aspects of the work of courts of summary jurisdiction in London, and when it has completed its work the question of undertaking some further inquiry will be considered.
§ Sir A. Wilsonasked the Home Secretary whether he will in the near future issue a consolidated collection of Home Office circulars to justices, many of which are out of print and none easy of reference in the absence of an indexed compilation?
§ Sir J. SimonI recognise that it would be useful if the collections of Home Office circulars which were issued in 1913 and 1925 could be revised and brought up to date. Pressure of other work, however, has hitherto made it impossible to undertake the considerable labour which would be involved.
