§ Sir HAROLD ELVERSTONasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many of the 8,198 debtors who were imprisoned to enforce judgments of the county courts in the year 1910 were summoned in respect of sums of £2 and under?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. McKenna)I have no information on the point, and the detailed examination of each of the 8,198 cases in question which would be necessary to obtain it would give the officers of the county courts more trouble than would seem to be justified.
§ Sir H. ELVERSTONPerhaps the right hon. Gentleman could give the information, say, for the months of April, May, and June?
§ Mr. McKENNAI will try if it can be done.
