HC Deb 27 August 1895 vol 36 c917
MR. COGHILL (Stoke-on-Trent)

asked the Attorney-General whether he would consider the possibility of introducing, next Session, a Bill to enable traders in England to recover trade debts owing to them in Scotland and Ireland more cheaply and expeditiously than they could at the present time?

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER,) Isle of Wight

I will certainly consider the question raised by my hon. and learned Friend, but I am afraid I cannot offer any hope of legislation in that direction. I would remind the hon. and learned Member that any attempt to recover debts incurred in England against persons across the border, or in Ireland, raises many very thorny questions.
