HC Deb 18 June 1891 vol 354 c797
MR. WOODALL (Hanley)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, with reference to the Marriages of Nonconformists (Attendance of Registrars) Bill and the Marriage Acts Amendment Bill, whether, before those measures are further proceeded with, the Government will move for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the operation of the existing Marriage Laws, with a view to considering what alterations should be made therein?

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

The Government are not of opinion that there is any necessity for the appointment of a Select Committee as proposed?
