HC Deb 25 July 1933 vol 280 cc2418-9W
Captain CUNNINGHAM-REID

asked the Attorney-General at whose instance the Rules of the Supreme Court in respect of libel actions or otherwise have recently been altered; and what steps have been taken to publish such alterations, so that those who may have recourse to the law shall be aware of any change in their position?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

The Rules to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers were made by the Rule Committee of the Supreme Court in the ordinary course of the duties laid upon it by statute. They were published by His Majesty's Stationery Office, and laid before both Houses of Parliament on 15th June, 1933, together with a Memorandum explaining and drawing attention to the alterations in respect of libel actions and otherwise. The Rules and the Memorandum were on sale to the public in the usual way.
