§ 1.14 a.m.
§ The Attorney-General (Sir Lionel Heald)I beg to move,
That the Draft Registration of Title (Surrey) Order, 1952, a copy of which was laid before this House on 29th January, be approved.This is an Order which has already been approved in another place. Its object is to extend the compulsory registration of title in the case of land to Surrey.I should tell the House that there was objection raised to this Order. In accordance with the procedure laid down, under the Land Registration Act, a public inquiry took place and a report was made by a distinguished member of the Chancery Bar, Mr. Neville Grey, Q.C., to the then Lord Chancellor recommending that the Orders should be made; and in pursuance of that my noble Friend the present Lord Chancellor has decided that the Order should go forward. It has been approved in another place and we ask that it should be approved by the House.
