Transfer of Land Report

HC Deb 17 October 1995 vol 264 c193W

Mr. Robert G. Hughes

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department whether he plans to implement recommendations in the Law Commission's report on Transfer of Land—Obsolete Restrictive Covenants, Law Com. No. 201. [37634]

Mr. John M. Taylor

Due to concerns about the potential costs to the public of using the scheme recommended by the Law Commission, and following careful consideration of representations from the public in this regard, it is not the Government's intention to implement the commission's recommendations. However, the matter will be kept under review following implementation of the commission's recommendations in Law Com. No. 127 for a scheme of land obligations.
