HC Deb 20 April 1858 vol 149 cc1353-4
MR. GLYN

said, he wished to inquire of the law officers of the Crown, when it is intended to bring in the Bill for the amendment of the Law of Bankruptcy.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

said, he had been charged by the Lord Chancellor with the preparation of a Bill for the amendment of the Law of Bankruptcy and Insolvency. The Bill, which he was happy to say was in a very advanced state of preparation, was very extensive, and very complicated in its form and details; but he had little doubt that, by devoting to it all the attention that his other occupations would permit him to do, it would be in a condition to be laid before the House of Lords, where Her Majesty's Government intend to introduce it, by the end of the next week, or at any rate by the beginning of the week following.
