HC Deb 06 April 1976 vol 909 c116W
Mr. Terry Walker

asked the Attorney-General if he will reconsider some of the questions being asked on the form applying for legal aid, to see whether they are valid for all cases being applied and especially the question to claimants concerning intercourse with persons other than their spouses.

The Attorney-General

Owing to changes in the law, it is no longer necessary for applicants for legal aid for divorce proceedings to answer the question about extra-marital intercourse. Steps are being taken to delete the question from forms issued in future. All the forms of application for legal aid are at present under review, and the new forms will not contain this question.
