HC Deb 27 July 1953 vol 518 cc859-60
1. Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

asked the Attorney-General when the Report of the Royal Commission on the marriage laws will be presented.

The Solicitor-General (Sir Reginald Manningham-Buller)

I have nothing to add to the answer which I have to the hon. and gallant Member for Norfolk. Central (Brigadier Medlicott) on 23rd July.

Lieut-Colonel Lipton

In view of the large volume of evidence which we know that the Royal Commission have to consider, and the need to have a report within the next year or two, can the Solicitor-General say how often the Commission meet to cope with their fairly heavy and responsible task?

The Solicitor-General

I am not in a position to give the hon. and gallant Gentleman that information.
