§ 33. Mr. LIDDALLasked the Attorney-General whether he will introduce legislation to prevent actions at law for alleged enticement of spouses?
§ Mr. LIDDALLIs not the Attorney-General aware that, while you can lead a horse to water, you cannot make it drink; and that in the same way you may lead a man or woman on, but, unless he or she is willing, they will not go very far astray?
§ 34. Mr. LIDDALLasked the Attorney-General whether, in view of the fact that it is not in the public interest that any action should lie for breach of promise alone, he will now consider the reform of the breach of promise law in order that in future the onus will be placed on the complainant of proving not only that a breach has occurred, but that it has inflicted specific damage other than mere disappointment of expectations or loss of affection?
§ The ATTORNEY - GENERALThe point raised in this question is one on which, I think, opinions differ. I am not satisfied that the suggestion in the last part of the question would receive general approval, and His Majesty's Government are not proposing to introduce legislation to carry it out.
