§ 35. Mr. McNamaraasked the Attorney-General when he expects to receive the report of the Law Commission on conditional contracts and gazumping.
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe Law Commission hopes in the early part of next year to publish, for comment and criticism, proposals concerning agreements for the sale of land subject to contract.
§ Mr. McNamaraHow soon do the Government expect to be able to introduce legislation on this matter, or are prospective house-purchasers to be faced with a continuance of gazumping over the next two years?
§ The Attorney-GeneralWhat is important, as the hon. Gentleman will appreciate, is to have enforceable and sound 622 conveyancing procedure and machinery. This is a difficult problem which the Law Commission has been studying. I can give no undertaking about a date.
