HC Deb 05 December 1983 vol 50 c8W
Mr. Lawrence

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce legislation to allow time spent in police custody to count together with time spent awaiting trial and conviction on the order of a court to count against the sentence imposed.

Mr. Mellor

My right hon. and learned Friend proposes to bring forward an amendment to the Police and Criminal Evidence Bill to this effect.
