HC Deb 31 July 1957 vol 574 c191W
52. Mr. Knox Cunningham

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether, since Section 6 of the Administration of Justice Act, 1956, in certain circumstances deprives a British subject of his right to recover damages in an action in personam under the Fatal Accidents Acts from another British subject, he will consider introducing legislation to restore the rights in existence before 1st January, 1957.

Mr. Neave

No. My hon. Friend's Question is based on assumptions regarding the action which the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs would take under Section 6 of the Administration of Justice Act, 1956, in particular circumstances. I could not anticipate the action which the Secretary of State might take in such circumstances.
