HC Deb 03 August 1972 vol 842 cc176-7W
Mr. Percival

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has now considered seeking, in the light of the judgment of the Court of Appeal in R. v. Royle, the substitution of a simpler provision for Section 16 of the Theft Act, 1968.

Mr. R. Carr

I have asked the Criminal Law Revision Committee to consider whether any changes are desirable in Section 16 of the Theft Act, 1968 (Obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception), having regard to the working of the section.
