HC Deb 12 July 1973 vol 859 c411W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Attorney-General whether he is satisfied that the reconciliation procedures under the Divorce Reform Act 1969 are working satisfactorily.

The Attorney-General

I am satisfied that the practice of the courts gives effect to the intentions of the 1969 Act in encouraging attempts at reconciliation where these seem likely to be fruitful. In particular, a practice direction has been issued listing people qualified to help, with a view to ensuring that those who want guidance can obtain it.
