§ 47. Mr. John Fosterasked the Attorney-General if the recommendations of the Sixth Interim Report of the Law Revision Committee are going to be implemented.
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe Government are unable to hold out any hope at present of introducing legislation to deal with the subject matter of this report, which is complicated and not entirely non-controversial.
§ Mr. FosterDoes not the Attorney-General agree that the subject matter is important?
§ The Attorney-GeneralIt has a certain importance, but questions of importance are relative.
§ 48. Mr. Fosterasked the Attorney-General if he will now reconstitute the Law Revision Committee and designate subjects for it to consider.
§ The Attorney-GeneralI will consult my noble Friend the Lord Chancellor and will then write to the hon. Member.
§ Mr. FosterWhen consulting would the Attorney-General point out that there are many non-controversial legal subjects requiring reform, and that the reinstitution of this Committee would be very desirable?
