HC Deb 19 January 1970 vol 794 c40W
93. Mr. Cordle

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce legislation to prohibit the offering or acceptance of financial or material reward arising from the commission of criminal offences.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

No. If, as I understand, the hon. Member has in mind payment by newspapers for articles by criminals or their relatives, legislation would be difficult to operate in practice.
