HC Deb 19 January 1971 vol 809 cc241-2W
34. Mr. Braine

asked the Attorney-General what conclusions the Law Commission has reached resulting from its inquiry into the prevalence of attempts to acquire squatters titles to land, particularly in South-East Essex.

The Attorney-General

The Law Commission have advised my noble Friend that it would not be satisfactory to make any limited changes in the law to deal with this particular situation. They could not at present undertake a general review of the law on acquisition of title to land by adverse possession but consider that this should be undertaken when time allows.
