HC Deb 19 February 1872 vol 209 c652
MR. PIM

asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce during this Session of Parliament any Bills for the amendment of the Law of Bankruptcy, and for the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt in Ireland; and, whether, if such be their intention, he will undertake to lay those Bills upon the Table sufficiently early in the Session to afford time for their full consideration in Committee, and so that there may be some hope of their becoming Law?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. DOWSE)

said, that there would be no delay on the part of the Government in introducing a Bill to amend the Law of Bankruptcy in Ireland, and also for the Abolition of Imprisonment for debt.
