HC Deb 03 May 1974 vol 872 cc262-3W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what consideration he is giving to the problems of women awarded alimony by court order who fail to obtain such money, in the light of the Finer Committee's report on one-parent families.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

The Government will consider the need for improvements in the machinery for enforcement of maintenance orders in the light of the Finer Committee's recommendations, but my right hon. Friend is not yet in a position to make a statement.
