HC Deb 03 July 1980 vol 987 c650W
24. Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is satisfied with the working of the Bail Act 1976.

Mr. Whitelaw

I have noted the concern that has been expressed about the working of the Bail Act 1976. I am awaiting an analysis of bail decisions made in the first year after the Act came into force, and I shall consider the operation of the Act in the light of that analysis.
