§ Mr. Alec Jonesasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has for legislation to reform the law of criminal evidence.
§ Mr. CallaghanI am awaiting the outcome of the review of criminal evidence by the Criminal Law Revision Committee. I am glad to say that Sir Frederic Sellers, who has recently told me of his wish to relinquish the chairmanship of the Committee, has agreed to remain as chairman until the Committee's review, which is nearing its final stages, has been completed. Lord Justice Edmund Davies has accepted my invitation to succeed him.
