HC Deb 14 December 1938 vol 342 c2003W
Mr. Liddall

asked the Attorney-General whether the order for the compulsory registration of the title of land sold in the county borough of Croydon can be extended within the next few months so as to deal with the increased number of houses in other residential districts of Surrey; and will he state the difficulty, if any?

The Attorney-General

It is hoped to extend the compulsory registration of the title of land sold in the county of Surrey outside Croydon on the 1st January, 1940. It was thought expedient that the Registry should have a year's experience of work in Croydon before taking over the rest of the county.
