§ 69. Mr. George Craddockasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department to appoint a committee to inquire into the danger to public morale caused by wide publicity in the Press of gross and unnecessary details in cases of homosexuality, and to make recommendationsfor the protection of the public against repetition in the future.
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeI have under consideration the general question of the law relating to sexual offences and of the treatment of sexual offenders. I will bear in mind the suggestion of the hon. Member, but I do not think that the appointment of a committee to consider this one aspect of the problem would be justified.
