HC Deb 28 March 1934 vol 287 cc1991-2W
Mr. L. SMITH

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the disproportionate amount of costs in county courts in connection with very small debts; and whether the committee

periods most nearly approximating to those mentioned in the question and for which information is available:

which is considering the whole question of imprisonment for debt will take this fact into its consideration?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I have no information regarding the matter referred to in the first part of the question. Proceedings in county courts are not within the terms of reference of the committee to which my hon. Friend refers.
