§ 32. Lieut.-Colonel Liptonasked the Attorney-General how far he proposes to carry out the recommendations of the Denning Committee Report relating to the welfare of children of divorced parents.
§ The Attorney-General (Sir Hartley Shawcross)Arrangements have now been made whereby the judges of the Divorce Division may refer to a probation officer for an inquiry and report as to the welfare of the children concerned in any application for custody or access heard in London. If these arrangements prove successful, it will no doubt be possible to consider their application to cases heard in the provinces.
§ Lieut.-Colonel LiptonIs my right hon. and learned Friend aware that his reply will give great satisfaction to those who have been waiting for some time to see the recommendations of the Committee put into effect?
