HC Deb 25 March 1927 vol 204 c747W
Captain WALLACE

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the large and increasing number of separation orders recorded annually, he will consider the desirability of amending the law so as to make desertion after four years a ground for divorce, as it has been for many years in Scotland?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I cannot hold out any hope that I shall be in a position to introduce legislation on the subject of divorce.
