HC Deb 02 March 1978 vol 945 c305W
22. Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received about legalising polygamy in the United Kingdom.

Dr. Summerskill

My right hon. Friend has recently received one letter in favour of legislation to permit polygamy, and 11 against. Replies have been or will be sent saying that the Government do not intend to introduce such legislation.
