HC Deb 08 March 1938 vol 332 cc1734-5W
Sir A. Wilson

asked the Attorney-General whether he will institute inquiries in some or all county courts with a view to ascertaining what proportion of judgment summonses during 1937 were issued in respect of hire-purchase agreements?

The Attorney-General

To ascertain the proportion of judgment summonses that were issued in respect of hire-purchase agreements would involve examination of the documents in the actions in the whole of the county courts, a task which I feel I should not be justified in asking the courts to undertake.
