§ 77. Rear-Admiral Sir Murray Sueterasked the Attorney-General whether he will accelerate the completion of the mapping surveys so that initiating orders under Section 120 of the Land Registry Act, 1925, may be put into operation, as the delay in adding to the number of 2079 counties which might benefit by the compulsory registration of land on sale is not in the public interest; and will he state the reason for the slow progress in completing the surveys?
§ The Solicitor-General (Sir Terence O'Connor)The question of accelerating the mapping of areas in which compulsory registration is necessary is under discussion and very careful consideration between the Departments concerned, and it is premature at present to make any statement.
