HC Deb 10 March 1966 vol 725 c613W
15. Mr. Wallace

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps are taken to trace husbands who have deserted their families.

Mr. George Thomas

For the purpose of maintenance proceedings Government Departments disclose addresses from social security records to court authorities on request. I have sent my hon. Friend particulars of the arrangements that have been made for this purpose. If a husband is a defendant to proceedings and a warrant is issued for his arrest, responsibility for executing the warrant rests with the police.
