Your Witness: That the divorce laws might as well stay as they are

BBC One
on BBC One London

The first of a new series of special television debates.
*
Ludovic Kennedy calls John Mortimer, Q.C. to prove this proposition and Leo Abse, M.P. to disprove it.
Each of them may call any witnesses he wishes to substantiate his argument and use as evidence any film from the BBC archives. The issue is debated before a panel of thirty young lawyers and a specially invited audience.
Leo Abse is one of the M.P.s who have planned the new Divorce Reform Bill at present before Parliament. John Mortimer argues that though the existing system is bad the new proposals could make it worse.
