HC Deb 15 May 1950 vol 475 c836
23. Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

asked the Attorney-General what steps are being taken to give effect to the recommendations of the Report of the Committee on the Limitation of Actions.

The Attorney-General (Sir Hartley Shawcross)

Careful consideration has been given to the recommendations of this Committee but I am unable to say when it will prove possible to introduce legislation.

Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

Will the right hon. and learned Gentleman use his best endeavours to rescue these useful, and I think non-controversial, proposals by this Committee from unmerited oblivion?

The Attorney-General

I would like to see the law relating to this matter tidied up, but the proposals of the Committee are not entirely non-controversial.
