HC Deb 29 March 1962 vol 656 c130W
37. Mr. Fletcher

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposals he has for changes in the law regarding sentences of corrective training and preventive detention.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I have referred the system of preventive detention for consideration by the Advisory Council on the Treatment of Offenders and it is now being examined by a sub-committee of that body. Meanwhile I have no proposals for amendment of the law relating either to corrective training or to preventive detention.
