§ 16. Mr. RAMSDEN (for Mr. H. WILLIAMS)asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs if he will bring to the notice of the Imperial Conference the terms of the Indian and Colonial Divorce Bill with a view to arranging for the extension Of the Bill to the self-governing Dominions and the passage of similar legislation by these Dominions?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREHis Majesty's Government had not contemplated extending the principle of the present Bill to cover cases of persons domiciled here 2622 and resident in the Dominions, or initiating a discussion on the matter at the Imperial Conference. But it would, of course, be open to any of the Dominion representatives to raise the question, should they so desire.
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI know that there are objections, but, as I have said, the initiative would he open to any Dominion Government.
