HC Deb 27 July 1972 vol 841 cc382-3W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Attorney-General whether, in view of the decision of Mr. Justice Ungoed-Thomas in the case of Inn versusColling (deceased), he will introduce legislation to amend the Wills Act, 1837, so that the intentions of testators will not be defeated by the signing or acknowledging of wills by the testator other than in the presence of two witnesses at one time.

The Attorney-General

My noble Friend is considering, in consultation with the Law Commission, the implications of the decision to which the hon. and learned Gentleman refers and whether the provisions of Section 9 of the Wills Act, 1837, should be reviewed.
