§ Mr. Moonmanasked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources whether, since the Land Commission Bill will not receive Royal Assent before Christmas, he intends to change the first appointed day fixed under the Bill.
§ Mr. WilleyYes, in the expectation that the Land Commission Bill would receive Royal Assent before Christmas I had announced in the summer my intention, if possible, to make the first appointed day 1st March, 1967. In view of the progress of the Bill and in deference to representations from professional bodies and others of the administrative advantages that would accrue particularly because of the interaction of the Bill on capital gains tax I intend to fix 6th April, 1967 as the first appointed day under the Land Commission Bill.
