§ MR. BUTCHER (York)To ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether an opportunity will be afforded this Session to discuss rise Vote for the Registrar and other officials of the Land Registry Office (Class III, Vote 4); and, if not, whether he will give facilities, either before the adjournment of tin; House in August, or during the Autumn session in the present year, for discussing the advisability of an inquiry into the working of the Land Transfer Act, 1897.
(Answered by Mr. A. J. Balfour.) I am afraid that it will be impossible to allot any special time for the discussion of this Vote before Supply closes; and I cannot give any pledge that an opportunity for a debate upon the administration of the Land Registry Office will be found during the course of the Autumn session.
