§ Mr. RENDALLasked the Prime Minister whether, with a view to the unification of the law throughout the empire, he will advise the appointment of a Royal Commission to inquire and report what parts of the law are fit to be codified and how the codification of such parts as are fit for the purpose can best be proceeded with?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe question of uniformity of the laws of the Empire engaged the attention of the Imperial Conferences of 1907 and 1911, and my hon. Friend is no doubt familiar with the discussions and resolutions in which stress was laid on the desirability of a larger measure of uniformity. I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by the appointment of a Royal Commission.
