§ Mr. Houghtonasked the Minister of Local Government and Planning what plans he has under consideration for the extension of compulsory land registration beyond London, Middlesex, Surrey, Eastbourne and Hastings.
The Attorney-GeneralI have been asked to reply. Registration of title to land is at present compulsory on sale in the Counties of London and Middlesex and the County Boroughs of Hastings, Eastbourne and Croydon. Plans have been prepared to extend the compulsory system to the County of Surrey on 1st October, 1951. Until those plans have been brought fully into operation it would be premature to consider detailed arrangements for further extensions of compulsory registration of title.
