§ 1. Mr. Dalyellasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many letters he received in October, 1972, from women, complaining that alimony granted to them by court order was not being paid by their husbands.
§ Mr. DalyellEven though the Finer Committee has not yet reported, are the Government satisfied with the legislative position regarding women who cannot get money which is granted to them by court order?
§ Mr. CarlisleAs the hon. Gentleman knows, we are awaiting the report of the Finer Committee. During 1971 we took various measures of a legislative nature, which we believe assist the situation. However, we await with interest the report of the Finer Committee.
