HC Deb 14 March 1907 vol 171 cc244-5
MR. J. M. HENDERSON (Aberdeenshire, W.)

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General whether it is the intention of the Government to reintroduce the Bill to amend The Married Women's Property Act, 1882, which was brought from the Lords on 4th April, 1905, as well as in the session of 1904, or some new measure to remedy the present position whereby, while a married women can convey her own property without the consent of her husband, she cannot convey property held by her in trust without her husband joining in such conveyance.

SIR JOHN WALTON

Yes, Sir, I am informed that the Lord Chancellor proposes to introduce a Bill with this object in the other House during the present session.
