Sir John Wheeier
To ask the Attorney-General whether he will make it his policy to include a comma before the year in the citation of Acts of Parliament.

§ The Attorney-General
No. The practice of including a comma in the citation of an Act serves no useful purpose, and was abandoned in 1962, on the advice of the Statute Law Committee.
