§ 5. Lieut.-Colonel Liptonasked the Attorney-General whether he will introduce legislation to abolish actions for enticement and similarly outmoded litigation.
§ The Solicitor-GeneralNo, Sir. I do not know what "outmoded litigation" the hon. and gallant Member has in mind, but there does not appear to be a general demand for the abolition of any rights of action now recognised by the courts.
§ Lieut.-Colonel LiptonIs the Solicitor-General aware that there are cases in which the time of the courts has been wasted over family squabbles which have been aired in courts of law? Is it not time that actions for enticement, breach of promise and all these other things which are quite unnecessary in the modern world should be abolished?
§ Mr. DainesIs the Solicitor-General aware that my hon. and gallant Friend's Question is really in restraint of trade in his own profession?
