§ 45. Lieut.-Colonel Liptonasked the Prime Minister whether he will now reconsider the question of appointing a Royal Commission to investigate and report on the Marriage Laws.
§ The Prime MinisterNo, Sir, I am not prepared to recommend the establishment of such a Royal Commission at the present time.
§ Lieut.-Colonel LiptonWill my right hon. Friend look at this matter again if it becomes manifest that widespread nonparty opinion calls for some inquiry into the present unsatisfactory state of affairs?
§ The Prime MinisterI have looked at it again. Apart from the question whether this is the best way of dealing with the matter, I do not think it is advisable at present to set up another Royal Commission.
