Miss Wardasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the recent decision of the Malta courts arising out of the case of Victoria Micallef that the criminal law of Malta did not include provisions similar to the Infanticide Act of the United Kingdom, steps will be taken to amend the law.
§ Colonel StanleyA Bill for this purpose is being drafted and will be introduced in the Malta Legislature as soon as possible.
Miss WardWill my right hon. Friend look at the position in other Colonies in regard to that matter?
§ Colonel StanleyYes, I have that in mind.
