HC Deb 15 July 1987 vol 119 c533W
78. Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what recent representations he has received on the subject of gazumping.

Mrs. Roe

I receive letters on the subject from time to time from hon. Members and members of the public; but questions on the law and practice of conveyancing are the responsibility of my noble and learned Friend the Lord Chancellor, whose predecessor established a standing committee at the Law Commission to bring forward proposals in this area.
