§ Mr. Weetchasked the Attorney-General what progress has been made under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act to computerise all the records under the local land charges register.
The Solicitor-GeneralClause 27 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill is designed to enable local authorities to computerise their local land charges registers. Should that clause be enacted, it will be for individual local authorities to decide whether and when to take advantage of it. Local authorities are already able to keep their local land charges registers on microfilm and some already do so.
