§ 29. Mr. Barnett Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce legislation to bring bastardy orders into line with married women's orders and guardianship orders in respect of the maximum payable for a child and continued payments beyond the age of 16 years.
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeMy hon. Friend the Member for Dorset, North (Mr. Crouch), introduced a Private Members' Bill on this topic yesterday.
§ Mr. JannerIn view of the fact that this must have been considered at the time the increases were allowed in relation to guardianship orders, would the right hon. and learned Gentleman say that if that Bill is not reached he will introduce a Bill and if it is reached the Government will support it?
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeWe will certainly give our help to see that this matter is put right in the sense the hon. Member wants.
§ Mr. JannerI am very much obliged.
