HC Deb 01 March 1911 vol 22 c369
Mr. HERBERT CRAIG

asked the Attorney-General whether his attention has been called to the recommendation contained in the Final Report, page 51, of the Royal Commission on the Land Transfer Acts in favour of the abolition of all copyhold tenures and the conversion of the same into freeholds; and whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce legislation for this purpose?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir Rufus Isaacs)

The recommendation of the Royal Commission is under consideration with the rest of the Report bearing on the general question of registration of title to land.

Mr. CHARLES BATHURST

Do the Government propose to introduce legislation this Session upon the lines of the Report?

Sir RUFUS ISAACS

What I said just now is that the recommendation is under consideration.
