HC Deb 05 June 1930 vol 239 cc2384-5
85. Mr. MELLER

asked the Attorney-General what action has been taken within the past 12 months to acquaint county councils and county borough councils that there is provision for the voluntary inclusion, before 1st January, 1936, of areas for registration of property at His Majesty's Land Registry on the initiative of public bodies; and will he, at an early date, bring the provision to the notice of local authorities?

86. Sir RENNELL RODD

asked the Attorney-General whether he will circularise county councils and county borough councils for the purpose of ascertaining if any of them desire to come into the scheme of compulsory areas of registration at His Majesty's Land Registry, so that the work of the Land Registry may broaden out and become more efficacious at a date earlier than 1936?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

No steps have been taken within the last 12 months to bring the matter to the attention of county and county borough councils, and I do not think that any such steps would serve a useful purpose. I see no reason to think that local authorities are not fully aware of their powers in this respect.
