HC Deb 07 June 1984 vol 61 c214W
Mr. Greg Knight

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will review the operation of section 1(7) of the Justices of the Peace Act 1968 by magistrates' courts in England and Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mellor

The Law Commission is engaged in a review of the powers of magistrates' courts to bind over to keep the peace or be of good behaviour. My right hon. and learned Friend proposes to await the completion of this review.
