asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the decision of Mr. Justice Atkinson at the Leeds assizes on 22nd March, 1935, in the case of the Sheffield City Police v. Carnell and Bonnington; and whether, in view of his lordship's criticism of the methods adopted by the police to secure evidence against suspected persons, he will state what steps he proposes to take to prevent the police from inciting innocent persons to commit crime?

I have instituted inquiries into this case and I will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as I have had an opportunity of considering the reports for which I have called.
