§ Mr. Carol Johnsonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what total acreage of common land was provisionally registered by the end of the first registration period on 1st July, 1968; and on what date will the lists of such registered commons be published in the London Gazette.
§ Mr. MacDermotInformation about progress up to 1st July is being obtained from the registration authorities. When this has been collated, I will write to my hon. Friend. Each registration authority has until 30th September, 1968 to publish and display locally a notice concerning commons registered before 1st July. As soon as possible after doing this, the registration authority must arrange for the notice, including a full list of the commons, to be published in theLondon Gazette.
§ Mr. Carol Johnsonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will issue a circular to registration authorities impressing upon them the need for lists of registered commons to be published at the earliest possible date, so that interested persons and the public generally may be in a position to consider what further action is necessary in the second registration period.
