HC Deb 19 July 1971 vol 821 c188W
38. Mr. Golding

asked the Attorney-General when he will introduce legislation proposed by the Law Commissioners on civil liability of vendors and lessors for defective premises.

The Attorney-General

: The Law Commission's Report (No. 40) contained four recommendations, of which two have proved controversial. My noble Friend, the Lord Chancellor, does not propose to reach a decision about any legislative proposals he may lay before Parliament until those who may wish to comment on these recommendations have had sufficient opportunity to do so.
