HC Deb 22 October 2002 vol 391 c251W
Mr. Hugh Bayley

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department, what plans the Government have to extend the powers of the Land Registry to adjudicate on cases of dispute of ownership on non-registered land in urban areas. [73609]

The Government have no plans to extend the powers of the Land Registry to disputes relating to unregistered land. The Government's aim is to bring unregistered landowners within the scope of those powers by completing the land register for England and Wales.
