§ The Lord Chancellor (Lord Hailsham of Saint Marylebone)My Lords, I beg to introduce a Bill to promote the reform of the statute law by the repeal in accordance with recommendations of the law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission of certain enactments which, except in so far as their effect is preserved, are no longer of practical utility; and to make other provision in connection with the repeal of those enactments. I beg to move that this Bill be now read a first time.
§ Moved, That the Bill be now read a first time.—(The Lord Chancellor.)
§ On Question, Bill read a first time, and to be printed.
