§ 57. Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs what action the Commission of Government of Newfoundland propose to take respecting petitions for the dissolution of marriage on the ground of misconduct; and whether he is aware of the anomalous position of deserted married persons in Newfoundland?
Mr. M. MacDonaldThere is no legislation in Newfoundland providing for divorce, and I have received no proposals from the Governor for the enactment of such legislation. I am not aware to what extent the problem of deserted married persons exists in Newfoundland, but I will ask the Governor for information as to this.
§ Mr. SorensenWill the right hon. Gentleman let me know the result of the communication?
