HC Deb 12 July 1859 vol 154 c1055
MR. MURRAY

said, he wished to ask Mr. Attorney General whether it is his intention to proceed this Session with a Bill brought from the Lords, intituled "An Act to Amend the Law of Debtor and Creditor, Bankruptcy, Insolvency, and Execution;" and what are his intentions in reference to the existing Law of Bankruptcy and its administration, and generally in reference to the Law of Debtor and Creditor and its amendment?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

said, it was not the intention of the Government to proceed with the Bill in question, but it was their intention, regarding, as they did, the whole subject of the Law of Debtor and Creditor, and particularly the Law of Bankruptcy, as now being in a very unsatisfactory state, to give the entire question the most anxious consideration during the recess, with the view to the introduction of a comprehensive measure either in that or the other House of Parliament early in the ensuing Session.
