HC Deb 13 April 1932 vol 264 c828W
Lieut.-Colenel WINDSOR-CLIVE

asked the Home Secretary if he will approach the Governments of the Dominions with a view to reciprocal measures being taken to provide that maintenance and affiliation orders made in one part of the Empire shall be enforceable throughout the Empire?

Sir H. SAMUEL

The Governments of the Dominions have been approached in regard to the reciprocal enforcement of maintenance orders and, with certain exceptions, arrangements are in existence. As regards the suggested extension of the arrangements to affiliation orders, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to my answer on 10th December last.
