42. Mr. HUTCHISONasked the Attorney-General whether, as recent cases have shown the necessity for divorce courts to be empowered to enforce maintenance orders by committal, and in view of the fact that when the Debtors Act, 1879, which took away these powers, was passed the divorce court in general only dealt with people of substance, he will consider taking action in the matter?
§ Captain AUSTIN HUDSON (Lord of the Treasury)My right hon. Friend will consider this matter at the earliest opportunity.
