HC Deb 23 June 1980 vol 987 c28W
Mr. Weetch

asked the Attorney-General whether it is his intention to make any staff economies in the Land Registry.

The Solicitor-General

It is expected that there will be further reductions in staff resources.

Mr. Weetch

asked the Attorney-General what progress is currently being made with the computerisation of land registration procedures at the Land Registry in line with the recommendations made by the Royal Commission on Legal Services.

The Solicitor-General

Practical experiments have confirmed the feasibility of proposals to extend computerisation into land registration procedures. It is planned during 1980–81 to bring into operation in the Plymouth district land registry, initially on a trial basis, certain parts of the eventual computerised system.
