§ Lord GARDINERasked Her Majesty's Government:
On what grounds they have decided not to implement recommendations 108 and 109 of the Renton Committee on Legislation.
§ The LORD CHANCELLOR (Lord Elwyn-Jones)After very careful consideration of these recommendations, the Government were not satisfied that the Statute Law Committee was an appropriate body to discharge the functions proposed for it by the Renton Committee or that the proposal to keep the Statute Book under continuous review was likely to lead to any worthwhile improvement in the drafting of legislation.
