HC Deb 20 December 1963 vol 686 c292W
Sir Knox Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he has taken under Section 56(1) of the Administration of Justice Act, 1956; and if he will make a statement with regard to the application of the Act in the Isle of Man and in each of the Channel Islands, respectively.

Miss Pike

The authorities in all three islands have agreed to the making of Orders in Council applying to their areas so much of Part I of the Act as is necessary to enable certain international conventions on maritime law to be extended to them. The drafting of the Orders is receiving attention.
