HC Deb 29 July 1963 vol 682 c4W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Attorney-General if he will seek to amend the law relating to infants so as to enable people over 18 years of age to buy or lease a house and to enable local authorities to make them loans for this purpose.

The Attorney-General

No. Any such change would have to be considered in the general context of the capacity of infants to enter into contracts and to own property. I should be reluctant to reduce the protection which our law at present affords to infants in this respect.
