HC Deb 27 January 1955 vol 536 c43W
57. Captain Kerby

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he is aware that, as a result of the act of grace in returning Mrs. Woollett her land, it is no longer possible to exercise the right granted by the Court of Appeal to carry her case to the House of Lords; and that, in consequence, a final decision on several important points of law in relation to the constitution of tribunals can no longer be given, and, as many people, particularly in the eastern counties, are affected, who cannot afford the expense of an appeal, if he will introduce legislation to clarify the law.

Mr. Amory

No. I am advised that, in view of the decision of the Court of Appeal, the legal position does not need clarification by legislation. It is, however, open to Mrs. Woollett to appeal to the House of Lords if she wishes to do so.
