asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the serious hardships imposed on individuals by the present County Court system, it is the intention of His Majesty's Government to introduce early legislation to give effect to the reforms recommended by the Rigby Smith Committee?

I have been asked to reply to this question. I beg to refer my hon. Friend to the answer given on the 26th February by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the right hon. Member for Platting (Mr. Clynes).
