HC Deb 25 November 1936 vol 318 c422
52. Mr. FOOT

asked the Attorney-General whether it is the intention of His Majesty's Government to introduce the Crown Proceedings Bill during the lifetime of the present Parliament?

The SOLICITOR - GENERAL (Sir Terence O'Connor)

No, Sir.

Mr. FOOT

Why not?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

For the reason given by my hon. and learned Friend.

Mr. FOOT

In view of the fact that the reason given was that there was not sufficient agreement in the House upon the Measure, will the hon. and learned Gentleman say from what quarter the opposition comes and whether, if he is shown that there is sufficient unanimity in the House desiring the Bill, the Government will reconsider their decision?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

I should like to see that question on the Paper.
