HC Deb 23 January 1967 vol 739 c177W
48. Sir B. Janner

asked the Attorney-General whether he will introduce legislation to enable a court to make orders for co-respondents in divorce actions to pay damages to the children of a broken marriage in divorce actions.

The Attorney-General

It is already the practice of the courts in appropriate divorce cases to order the damages, or part of them, to be settled on the children. Accordingly, I do not think there is any need for legislation.
