§ Sir A. Wilsonasked the Attorney-General whether, in view of the valuable results which have accrued from the work of the Law Revision Committee and of the large number of matters suitable for and urgently needing consideration by such a committee, the Government will consider the possibility of appointing at least three more law revision committees to deal with criminal, equity and statute law, respectively, under the chairmanship of the Master of the Rolls, in order to ensure effective co-ordination?

§ The Attorney-GeneralI do not think that my hon. Friend's suggestion would be practicable. The question of referring further subjects to the Law Revision Committee is constantly under the consideration of my Noble and learned Friend the Lord Chancellor. The Committee as at present constituted is probably producing as much matter for the consideration of Parliament as can be dealt with in such Parliamentary time as is available. My Noble Friend fully realises the importance of the work referred to.
