HC Deb 31 July 1939 vol 350 c1990W
Sir J. Mellor

asked the Attorney-General whether he has given consideration to the recommendations of the Law Revision Committee contained in Command Paper 6009 with regard to revision of the law relating to frustration of contracts; whether he has approved the recommendations; and whether, in view of the importance of this matter in times of emergency, he will state what action he proposes to take?

The Attorney-General

Yes, Sir. The Government have adopted the report in principle. The preparation of other urgent legislative business has hitherto prevented the preparation of a Bill to give effect to the committee's recommendations, but a Bill for this purpose will be prepared and considered as soon as possible.
