HC Deb 03 February 1967 vol 740 c174W
Mr. John Fraser

asked the Attorney-General whether he will take steps to publish with every Act of Parliament a note showing briefly the extent of all orders, statutory instruments, amending and repealing statutes affecting or made under the published Act.

The Attorney-General

The best means of improving the form and arrangement of the Statute Book is at present being considered by the Statute Law Committee, over which my noble Friend the Lord Chancellor presides. The facilities which already exist for finding out how an Act has been affected by amending or subordinate legislation are described in a pamphlet recently published by the Stationery Office entitled "Looking up the Laws", of which I am sending my hon. Friend a copy.
