HC Deb 21 July 1887 vol 317 c1627
MR. S. SMITH (Flintshire)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether the Government will give facilities to bring forward the Legal Proceedings Reports Bill; and, whether they will introduce legislation of their own to deal with the evil of publishing demoralising details of divorce cases?

THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)

The highest legal authorities see no objection to the Legal Proceedings Reports Bill; and I hope the hon. Gentleman will find an opportunity of passing the Bill into law in the course of the present Session?
