Sir H. CORYasked the Home Secretary whether he has received any resolutions from organisations urging the introduction of a Bill placing married parents on an equal footing as regards the 1370W guardianship, maintenance, and custody of their legitimate children; and whether, in view of the widespread demand, he will now introduce such a Measure?
§ Mr. SHORTTThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. Legislation to effect this object involves many difficult questions of law and policy, and at present I can only say that the whole matter is receiving the careful attention of the Government.
