HC Deb 12 June 1958 vol 589 c29W
13. Mr. Teeling

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations whether he is aware that Mrs. Ife, 24, Compton Avenue, Brighton, who in 1954 was granted a court maintenance order of £9 per week from her Canadian husband and the custody of their two sons, has received only £2 in all; and what official representations have been made on her behalf.

Commander Noble

I have been asked to reply.

The enforcement by courts in Canada of orders for maintenance made by English courts is governed by Canadian provincial legislation. My noble Friend is making inquiries of the Nova Scotia authorities in this case and he will write to my hon. Friend when he receives a reply.
