HC Deb 28 February 1957 vol 565 cc194-5W
35. Viscountess Davidson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when it is the intention of the Government to implement the unanimous recommendations in paragraph 330 of the Report of the Select Committee on Divorce and set up a suitably qualified body to review the marriage laws and the existing arrangements for pre-marital education and training.

Mr. R. A. Butler

The Government are continuing to give careful consideration to these recommendations, but as at present advised are not satisfied that a further inquiry of the kind suggested by the noble Lady is necessary. Guidance on some general aspects of pre-marital education and training is contained in Ministry of Education pamphlet No. 31 (Health Education), of which I am sending the noble Lady a copy.
