Lord of the Manor (Hansard, 21 January 1994)

HC Deb 21 January 1994 vol 235 c850W 850W

§ Mr. Redmond
To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what are the current statutory rights of holders of the title of lord of the manor; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John M. Taylor
No rights are conferred by statute on any person holding the title of lord of the manor. Although certain pre-existing rights and liabilities were preserved by the Law of Property Act 1922, the nature of those rights and liabilities will depend in each case on the particular customs of the manor in question.
