HC Deb 21 May 1969 vol 784 c615

So much of the Lords Message [20th May] as communicates the Resolution, That it is desirable that, in the present Session, all Bills prepared by one or both of the Law Commissions to promote the reform of the Statute Law by the repeal, in accordance with Law Commission recommendations, of certain enactments which (except in so far as their effect is preserved) are no longer of practical utility, and by making other provision in connection with the repeal of those enactments, together with any Law Commission report on any such Bill, be referred to the Joint Committee on Consolidation, &c., Bills; and that, on any such Bill, the Joint Committee do report whether the enactments proposed for repeal in the Bill ought to be repealed on the ground that they are no longer of practical utility, and do make such other report as they may think fit, to be considered forthwith.—[Dr. Miller.]

So much of the Lords Message considered accordingly.

Resolved, That this House doth concur with the Lords in the said Resolution.—[Dr. Miller.]

Message to the Lords to acquaint them therewith.

Motion made, and Question proposed, That this House do now adjourn.—[Dr. Miller.]
