HC Deb 14 March 1949 vol 462 c1729
47. Mr. John Foster

asked the Attorney-General if the recommendations of the Sixth Interim Report of the Law Revision Committee are going to be implemented.

The Attorney-General

The 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. Foster

Does not the Attorney-General agree that the subject matter is important?

The Attorney-General

It has a certain importance, but questions of importance are relative.

48. Mr. Foster

asked the Attorney-General if he will now reconstitute the Law Revision Committee and designate subjects for it to consider.

The Attorney-General

I will consult my noble Friend the Lord Chancellor and will then write to the hon. Member.

Mr. Foster

When 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?
