HC Deb 10 February 1913 vol 48 c485
46. Mr. HUME-WILLIAMS

asked if it is intended to introduce legislation, and, if so, when, to give effect to such recommendations of the Royal Commission on Divorce as are unanimous?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)

I must refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on 19th December last to the hon. Member for Blackburn, to which I can at present add nothing.

Mr. HUME-WILLIAMS

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that some of the recommendations such, for instance, as those dealing with the granting of separation orders by magistrates are now in consequence in daily operation?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am not aware of that. The whole ground is very contentious.
