§ 57. Captain CUNNINGHAM-REIDasked the Attorney-General what steps are taken to keep under review ancient legislation, and arrange for repeal when such legislation is no longer applicable to modern conditions?
§ Sir VICTOR WARRENDER (Vice-Chamberlain of the Household)I have been asked to reply. The Government Departments concerned consider the revision of legislation which comes within their sphere, while the Statute Law Revision Committee deals with the repeal of legislation that is out of date by reason of later enactments. My right hon. and learned Friend understands that the Lord Chancellor is considering steps to be taken for the review from time to time of such portions of the law as are not dealt with under the above arrangements.
