§ Mr. Hannanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what action he proposes to take on the Report of the Halliday Committee.
§ Mr. RossThis Report—which is published today—contains a number of 281W recommendations, some dealing with technical conveyancing matters and some with conveyancing problems of more general interest, and with various aspects of the feudal system of land tenure. I am very grateful to Professor Halliday and his committee for their review of an extremely difficult subject. I am inviting the views of the legal profession and others on the many recommendation in the Report. These consultations will help me to form a view on the wider question whether the feudal system can be adapted to meet modern conditions.
