HC Deb 03 March 1997 vol 291 c506W
42. Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department when he expects a full review of limitation legislation to be completed. [16739]

Mr. Streeter

The Law Commission has undertaken a comprehensive review of the law of limitation periods with a view to its simplification and rationalisation. The first stage will be completed when the Law Commission publishes a consultation paper, which it hopes to do this summer. A period of consultation will follow before the Law Commission makes its final recommendations.
