§ Lieut.-Commander Hutchisonasked the Attorney-General whether he will consider amending the law in England to empower courts to sequestrate a husband's wages for the payment of alimony to his wife, who has obtained a decree of judicial separation, and thus bring English law into line with Scottish law on this point.
§ The Attorney-GeneralNo, Sir. The existing methods of enforcement, includas they do, procedure by judgment summons, have on the whole proved sufficient in England. The hon. and gallant Member's proposal would, I think, be highly controversial, and consideration of the issues involved could not be confined to this particular class of debt.
