§ 1. Mr. Ronald Bellasked the Attorney-General whether he will consider amending the law relating to the liability of innkeepers for goods left unattended on their premises; and, in particular, for motor cars left in open car parks in the curtilage of inns.
§ The Attorney-General (Sir Lionel Heald)My noble Friend the Lord Chancellor has not sufficient evidence at present to justify amendment of the law in this connection: but he has in mind the possible re-establishment of a law revision committee, and if such a committee were set up this branch of the law might be suitable for reference to it.
§ Mr. BellCan my hon. and learned Friend say when he thinks that committee is likely to be set up, and will he impress upon his noble Friend the desirability of its re-establishment at an early date?
§ The Attorney-GeneralI will bring that matter to the notice of my noble Friend.
