HC Deb 05 August 1975 vol 897 cc127-8W
Mr. Weetch

asked the Attorney-General on how many occasions in the last five years the Joint Advisory Committee of the Law Society and Her Majesty's Registry has discussed the subject of conveyancing reform.

The Attorney-General

Aspects of conveyancing reform have been discussed at all the annual meetings of the committee.

Mr. Weetch

asked the Attorney-General what stage has been reached in the Law Commission's current consideration of the reform of registered conveyancing; and whether he will make a statement.

The Attorney-General

The Law Commission has published three working papers on separate aspects of the law relating to land registration. A fourth working paper is likely to be published before the end of the year. The commission expects to be preparing its final report, with draft legislation attached, next year.
