HC Deb 26 January 1961 vol 633 c47W
77. Mr. Elwyn Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the public concern caused by the decision of the House of Lords in the case of Director of Public Prosecutions versus Smith, Her Majesty's Government will cause an inquiry to be held into the problems created by that decision, with a view to introducing such amending legislation as may be recommended.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I would refer the hon. and learned Member to the reply which I gave on 24th November to a Question by the hon. Member for Woolwich, East (Mr. Mayhew).
