HC Deb 24 July 1967 vol 751 cc48-9W
107. Mr. Longden

asked the Attorney-General when he expects to receive the report of the Payne Committee which is inquiring into the working of the Maintenance Orders Act, 1958.

The Attorney-General

The terms of reference of Mr. Justice Payne's Committee are not confined to the working of the Maintenance Orders Act, 1958, but they are considering the whole of the law relating to the recovery of debts and the enforcement of orders for the payment of money in civil proceedings. The Committee's task has proved a heavy one and I am unable at present to say when its Report will be received.
