§ Mr. M. LIVINGSTONEasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the number of cases brought under the Maintenance Orders (Facilities for Enforcement) Act; and the proportion of cases in which it has been possible to enforce payment of the order?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI have been asked to reply. There were only a few cases before 1923, and since 1923 certain figures have been published in the Criminal Statistics. During the years 1923, 1924 and 1925, 398 orders have been forwarded overseas and 73 received from overseas. I have no information of the extent to which the orders are being complied with.
