§ Mr. ShersbyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will undertake a survey to determine the extent to which persons, who have been charged with an offence and subsequently released on bail, commit further offences prior to their cases being finalised by the courts.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerWe have no plans to undertake a national survey of this kind. A number of police forces have made studies of crimes alleged to have been committed by people on bail.
