HC Deb 17 July 1957 vol 573 c128W
Mr. John Hall

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has now received the Report of the Advisory Council on the Treatment of Offienders on alternatives to short terms of imprisonment.

Mr. R. A. Butler

Yes. The Report has been presented to me and is being published today. I am considering the Council's recommendations, and since some of them will be of particular interest to justices I am sending copies of the report to clerks to justices with a request that they will bring it to the justices' attention.
