Let H be a subgroup of a finite group G and let S be a set of generators of H. We prove that if G is soluble, then H is subnormal in G if and only if there exists an integer n such that for each g in G and a in S the commutator lies in H. This criterion for subnormality is also valid for soluble groups satisfying the maximal or the minimal condition on subgroups.
