HC Deb 04 August 1965 vol 717 c320W
38. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Minister without Portfolio what steps he proposes to take to reduce the legal fees charged for the conveyancing of houses.

Sir Eric Fletcher

Steps have already been taken to ensure that the system of compulsory registration of title is extended at rapidly as possible to the whole of England and Wales. In addition, my noble friend the Lord Chancellor has under consideration proposals which have been made by the Law Society for simplifying the procedure on the sale of unregistered land where the price does not exceed £7,000.
