Members oppose conveyancing bill as six and seven clauses struck
In the May 29 session the House, after debating the Loan Bill, moved to the Conveyancing Bill. Mr Angel chaired. Mr Tasar defended it as a technical measure protecting public interests. Mr Mackay urged striking out the 6th and 7th clauses as onerous, unfair to non lawyers, and contrary to rights. Mr Renbenn supported removal to avoid restricting legitimate business. The committee, after removing clauses, rose to report progress and adjourn.
