HC Deb 21 December 1964 vol 704 cc197-8W
Mr. Blenkinsop

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources whether he will make a statement on the implementation of the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Common Land.

Mr. Willey

A Bill is being introduced in another place today for a scheme of commons registration. The scheme will provide for the registration of claims that land is common, and of claims to the ownership of the land and of common rights. The Bill broadly follows the Royal Commission's recommendations for commons registration, but provides for registration to be completed in much less time than the 12 years proposed by the Commission.
