HC Deb 22 November 1966 vol 736 cc274-5W
Mr. Edward Lyons

asked the Attorney-General whether he will seek power to enable the Law Commissioners to scrutinise and improve draft legislation prior to its presentation to the House, in the interests of lucidity of expression and simplicity of lay-out.

The Attorney-General

I do not think it would, as a rule, be either desirable or practicable to refer draft legislation to the Law Commission.
