asked the Attorney-General whether, in view of the distress and risk which may be caused to widows, he will introduce legislation to seek to prohibit the inclusion of the address of the deceased person or his widow when wills are published in newspapers.

No. Whilst I sympathise with the hon. Member's objective, I do not think that it would be achieved by prohibiting publication of the address of the deceased person or his widow so long as wills remain public documents open to inspection.
