§ Mr. H. Johnsonasked the Attorney-General how many transfers of properties with titles registered at Her Majesty's Land Registry took place during the last available 12 monthly period.
§ The Attorney-GeneralDuring the 12 months ended 31st December, 1952, there were 65,167 transfers of registered land.
§ Mr. H. Johnsonasked the Attorney-General how many transfers of properties with titles registered at Her Majesty's Land Registry took place during the last available 12 monthly period, in which 48W solicitors were not acting for the vendor and purchaser.
§ The Attorney-GeneralThis information is not recorded. Applications for registration are presented by the purchaser and accordingly Her Majesty's Land Registry is not normally aware whether or not a solicitor is acting for the vendor. It is estimated that the number of transfers where a solicitor did not act for the purchaser did not exceed 200 in the 12 months ended 31st December, 1952.
