§ MR. SHAW LEFEVRE (Bradford, Central)asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether the Government is now prepared to assent to the suggestion that the Land Transfer Bill should be divided; that only that part of it relating to the inheritance of land and the abolition of primogeniture, to which 1166 there is no opposition from the Liberal side of the House, should be proceeded with this Session; and that the part relating to registration of titles, which will give rise to much discussion, should be deferred till next Session?
§ THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster), in reply, said, the Government were exceedingly anxious to pass the Land Transfer Bill as a whole; and they had come to the conclusion that it would not be desirable to take one part out of it, even though that part would not receive any opposition on the other side of the House.
