HC Deb 05 May 1966 vol 727 c140W
35. Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take steps to allow for a declaration of bankruptcy in the case of appropriate criminal offenders convicted of serious crimes of dishonesty.

Mr. Taverne

The whole question of restitution by offenders, including the suggestion to which my hon. Friend refers, needs detailed study before a practicable scheme could be worked out. My right hon. Friend will consider the matter further.
