48. Mr. Ronald King Murray

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he intends to promote Orders in Council under Sections 1(6) and 2(3) of the Uniform Laws on International Sales Act, 1967, following sufficient ratification of The Hague Conventions of 1964 on these topics, in time to bring the relative provisions of the Act into force on 18th and 23rd August, 1972, when the Conventions come into effect internationally.

Mr. Noble

I am arranging for an Order to be made under the Act which will bring the laws into operation in the United Kingdom, including Scotland, on 18th August.
