HC Deb 18 January 1971 vol 809 c219W
Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will consider the formation of a working party to investigate the possibility of maintenance payments to deserted wives being paid by cheque, Giro post or any other means than by personal collection at the courts.

Mr. Carlisle

Maintenance payments may already be made by these means and they are widely used.
