§ Mrs. Wiseasked the Attorney-General how many divorces in the past year, or in the latest available year, were between couples with no children aged under 18 years; and what percentage this is of the total number of divorces.
§ The Attorney-General:Figures are not collected in respect of children under 18. In 1977 there were 51,564 divorce decrees involving couples with no children under 16; these constituted 40 per cent. of all decrees absolute.
