LEGISLATION ON COMMUNITY SERVICE ORDERS
The Attorney General, the Hon. D.T.E. Roberts, said today that it
would be wise to study how legislation empowering the Courts in England to
make Community Service Orders worked before deciding whether it was desirable
to make similar provision in Hong Kong.
The Attorney General was replying in the Legislative Council to
the Hon. Wilson Wang, who asked: "Will Government introduce legislation to
enable the Courts of the Colony to make Community Service Orders whenever such
an order is considered to be a penalty appropriate to an offence or the offender?"
Roberts said the English bill was introduced into Parliament last
MI.
year, but he had not been able to find out if it had been enacted.
