HC Deb 22 March 1990 vol 169 c749W
40. Mr. Sumberg

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received in response to his White Paper "Crime, Justice and Protecting the Public".

Mr. John Patten

We have invited comments on the proposals in the White Paper by 30 April. It received widespread support in both Houses upon publication on 6 February. Since then, we have received a number of responses which have generally welcomed the proposals.
