HC Deb 18 May 1905 vol 146 c757
MR. HARMOOD-BANNER (Liverpool, Everton)

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General whether, in the event of the County Courts (No. 2) Bill becoming law and rules being framed under Section 6, extending the cases in which judgment may be entered up summarily against a defendant, he intends to grant similar powers by rule to the Liverpool Court of Passage, pursuant to the Liverpool Court of Passage Acts, 1893 and 1896, and the recommendations of the Borough Courts Committee.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir ROBERT FINLAY, Inverness Burghs)

This is not a matter which rests with me. I have communicated in the proper quarter the views of the hon. Member, and I have no doubt they will receive every consideration.
