§ Mr. H. G. Williamsasked the Attorney-General whether he is aware that the scope of the last index to local statutes was limited solely to a chronological list of such Acts, and had no index referring to the detailed contents and clauses of the Acts in question; and whether, in these circumstances, he can arrange that the new index which is now to be prepared shall include an index to such contents on the lines of Volume II of the index to public statutes in force?
644W
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe new index to local Acts, which in part already prepared, will give some general indication of the scope of each Act. The production of a detailed index to those Acts, section by section, would involve a great amount of labour which would, it is believed, be out of all relation to its usefulness.
