HC Deb 10 November 1930 vol 244 cc1319-20
69. Mr. CULVERWELL

asked the Attorney-General if he will state the average number of days required, during the past 12 months, from the date of the application for registration received by the Land Registry until the date upon which the final documents were delivered to the applicants?

The LORD ADVOCATE

I have been asked to reply. With the permission of the House, I will circulate this answer, which is in tabulated form, through the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the answer:

The average number of days required, where applications for registration are in order under the Land Registration Act and Rules, was as follows:

— Compulsory Areas. Non-Compulsory Areas.
Days. Days.
First Registrations 5.64 14
Dealings with registered land. 4.07 7.1
The above period of 14 days is due to the fact that first registrations in noncompulsory areas are required by the Land Registration Rules to be advertised and a period of not less than 14 days must be given for objections (if any) to the registration to be lodged in the Registry.
