HC Deb 30 June 1959 vol 608 cc35-6W
79. Dr. Dickson Mabon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how long the proposed inquiry into reducing the cost and complexity of conveyancing in Scotland is expected to take.

82. M. McInnes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, in view of the unsatisfactory position regarding the cost of conveyancing and the registration of title to land in Scotland, he will reconstitute the Committee of Land Registration in Scotland at an early date.

M. Maclay

As my hon. Friend the Member for Craigton stated in debate on 18th June, I have decided to reconstitute the Committee on Registration of Title to Land and I hope to make a statement shortly about its membership. In view of the nature of the inquiry it would be premature to give any estimate of how long it will take.
