§ Mr. Robert McCartneyTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will set up a working party to arrange for drafting an updated merger of the Interpretation Act 1954, c. 33 (Northern Ireland) with the Interpretation Act 1978 c. 30. [13798]
§ Sir John Wheeler[holding answer 8 February 1996]: No. I am unaware of any concerns having been expressed about the operation of either the 1954 Act or the 1978 Act. I therefore have no plans to set up a working party to draft a new Interpretation Act.
