HC Deb 15 July 1859 vol 154 c1295
MR. VINCENT SCULLY

said, that with reference to the plan for facilitating the free transfer of land submitted by him to the House in May, 1853, which plan was in substance recommended for adoption in 1857, by the Report of the Registration Titles Commission, and was still more closely embodied in the two Land Bills of the late Solicitor General, he wished now to ask the Attorney General whether the present Government intend to introduce any measure to facilitate the transfer of land by means of a proper system for the Registration of Title; when would such measure be laid before Parliament, and what would be the general nature of its provisions?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

said, the Report of the Commission was now under the consideration of Government, together with the valuable Bill that was brought in by the Solicitor General of the late Administration. Measures would be shortly prepared, and he trusted would be brought into Parliament in the ensuing Session for carrying the recommendations of that Report into effect. It was impossible to state what the details and provisions of those; measures would be further than that the object of them would be to give effect to the proposition for a Registration of Title, and to carry the recommendations of the Commissioners into effect.
