HC Deb 27 June 1927 vol 208 c39
63. Colonel DAY

asked the Home Secretary whether any facilities exist in the Metropolitan area to enable persons arrested for non-compliance with a judgment order for debt on a Saturday to satisfy the demands of the same during that day, so as to avoid their retention in prison until the following Monday?

Captain HACKING

Reasonable facilities are afforded to a debtor to satisfy a judgment debt. The procedure for securing discharge on payment varies according to the Court concerned. If the hon. Member will put down a question regarding the particular class of case he has in mind, my right hon. Friend will answer it.
