§ MR. REMNANT (Finsbury, Holborn)To ask Mr. Attorney-General whether he will consider the advisability of recommending an Amendment to the reference to the Royal Commission at present taking evidence on the working of the Land Transfer Acts, to enable them to take evidence in favour of the establishment in every county of local registries of deeds similar to the registries that have for the last two centuries existed in the counties of Middlesex and Yorkshire.
(Answered by Sir William Robson.) It is not intended to change the reference to the Royal Commission, nor am I prepared to say that they are excluded by its terms from considering the question of local registries of deeds.
