HC Deb 14 December 1953 vol 522 c2
5. Mr. M. Stewart

asked the Attorney-General when the report of the Royal Commission on the Marriage Laws will be presented.

The Solicitor-General

I am not yet in a position to say when the report of the Royal Commission is likely to be presented.

Mr. Stewart

As it is many months since this Commission ceased hearing evidence, can the hon. and learned Gentleman say when he is likely to be able to tell us anything at all about it?

The Solicitor-General

No, Sir.

Mr. Ede

Has the hon. and learned Gentleman any idea when the report is likely to be received?

The Solicitor-General

That would be a pure matter of speculation on my part. Obviously, it will take a great deal of time to prepare a report covering such a wide field.
