HC Deb 04 October 1944 vol 403 c956W
Sir T. Moore

asked the Attorney-General whether he will institute a survey of Acts of Parliament over 100 years old in order to ascertain which are appropriate to present day conditions.

The Attorney-General

While it would not be practicable to adopt the suggestion made by my hon. Friend at the present time, my Noble Friend the Lord Chancellor and I are considering what steps could be taken to improve the present state of the Statute Book, and I hope to make a statement in due course.
