HC Deb 22 February 1912 vol 34 cc880-1W
Mr. KING

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention has been called to the fact that a man may not marry his deceased wife's half-niece, to whom he is not a blood relation, but may marry the mother of such a person; and whether he will introduce legislation to remedy the effect of the laws regulating marriages?

Mr. McKENNA

The law is as stated in the question, but I cannot promise to introduce legislation on the subject at the present time.
