HC Deb 17 February 1955 vol 537 c83W
Mr. Renton

asked the Attorney-General how many actions have been instituted under the Crown Proceedings Act, 1947, since it came into force; and how many of such actions were concluded without being discontinued or settled.

The Attorney-General

It would not be possible to obtain this information without a great amount of research, and I do not think that the work involved would be justified.

Mr. Renton

asked the Attorney-General how many of the actions which have been instituted under the Crown Proceedings Act, 1947, since it came into force, were in contract; and how many were in tort.

The Attorney-General

This information could not be obtained without examining the record in each case, and I do not think that the work involved in doing so would be justified.
