HC Deb 03 April 1981 vol 2 c138W
Mr. Iain Mills

asked the Attorney-General whether any guidance is given to judges and magistrates on the assessment of probation and after-care service reports in divorce cases; and, if so, what the guidance is.

The Solicitor-General

No. The assessment of evidential material is a judicial function with which it would be improper for the Executive to interfere.
