STATUTE LAW REVISION BILL (Hansard, 6 March 1958)

HC Deb 06 March 1958 vol 583 c161W 161W

§ 128. Mr. Reeves
asked the Attorney-General when the next Statute Law Revision Bill will be introduced.

§ The Attorney-General
It is hoped to introduce a Statute Law Revision Bill shortly.

§ 129. Mr. Reeves
asked the Attorney-General if, in the next Statute Law Revision Bill, he will propose the repeal of the Blasphemy Act, 1697, Sections 1 to 7 of the Sacrament Act, 1547, and of those portions of the Acts of Uniformity of 1548 and 1558, and of the Criminal Libel Act, 1819, particulars of which have been sent him by the hon. Member for Greenwich.

§ The Attorney-General
No. It would not be appropriate to deal with these Acts in a Statute Law Revision Bill.
