Abstract
TWO years ago Viscount Grey of Fallodon introduced a Bill on this subject in the House of Lords, as was noticed in these pages at the time, but the measure did not succeed in becoming law before the dissolution. In the present Parliament a Bill has been introduced by the Home Secretary and at present awaits a second reading in the House of Commons. The new Bill closely resembles its predecessor, although the drafting and arrangement have been improved, and it likewise aims at giving effect to recommendations of the Departmental Committee which reported in 1919. It is intended to supersede all the existing legislation on its particular aspect of the subject, apart from the special Game Laws, and to secure uniformity, simplification, and greater effectiveness.
