§ 25. Brigadier Medlicottasked the Attorney-General if the Committee appointed to examine the question of land charges has commenced its deliberations; and how soon it is anticipated that its recommendations will be received.
§ The Attorney-GeneralYes. The Committee, which was set up on 1st October is now receiving evidence. I am not yet in a position to say when it will be able to report.
§ Brigadier MedlicottWill my right hon. and learned Friend bear in mind the desirability of making these registers, especially of local land charges, really comprehensive so that the hazards attending the ownership of property nowadays can be brought to the notice of intending purchasers?
