HC Deb 14 October 1975 vol 897 cc679-80W
Mr. Tomlinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps the Government are taking to amend the law of conspiracy.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

The report of the Law Commission regarding the law in England and Wales on the subject is expected in January. When it is received and considered the Government intend to introduce without delay comprehensive legislation to reform this branch of the law. Any possible implications for Scotland will be considered by my Scottish ministerial colleagues.
