§ 62. Mr. E. Smithasked the Attorney-General whether his attention has been directed to the observations made by Judge Sir Artemus Jones on 13th August, 1937, during the hearing of a case at the 399 Rhyl county court, to the effect that firms sent people skilled in the art of getting others to sign documents in terms which they do not understand; and, in view of the many complaints of this nature, will he appoint a Departmental Committee to investigate and report on this and the allied questions?
§ The Attorney-General (Sir Donald Somervell)I have seen a newspaper report of the case referred to. My Noble Friend the Lord Chancellor has had under his consideration a proposal to appoint a Departmental Committee to examine this question, but as a Bill is about to be introduced by the hon. Member for Jarrow (Miss Wilkinson) he proposes to defer further consideration of the matter until he is acquainted with the proposals of the Bill.
