HC Deb 10 April 1919 vol 114 c2199
19. Mr. HAILWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to make adultery a criminal offence punishable by law, so that some little satisfaction may be given to those whose homes are violated and in order to discourage as far as possible recourse to what is known as the unwritten law?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

The answer is in the negative.
