Mr. Laxton: To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department how many (a) double registration and (b) other domestic
boundary disputes were handled by the Land Registry in (a) 1997, (b) 1998, (c) 1999 and (d) 2000; of these, how many were (i) the
subject of court action, (ii) resolved in court and (iii) settled in court on the basis of (A) loser pays winner's costs, (B) each
party pays its own costs and (C) other arrangements for bearing costs; how long on average it took to settle such disputes; and what
the average legal costs were for both parties combined. [159676]
Jane Kennedy: The Land Registry does not keep a record of the total number of boundary disputes which arise in cases it handles. It
does, however, maintain a record of those cases in which an error in the extent of a registered title leads to the payment of
indemnity under the Land Registration Act 1925. The figures for the last four financial years are as follows:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Number of cases
1997-98 231
1998-99 288
1999-2000 359
2000-01 329
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
To determine how many of these related to (a) double registrations and (b) domestic properties would be possible only at
disproportionate cost.

Liz Blackman: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to review the law
relating to housing tenure. [155960]
Mr. Raynsford: Following clearance by the Lord Chancellor, the Law Commission has today been asked to undertake a major review of
the law surrounding housing tenure in both the social and private rented housing sectors. The referral is in response to a Law
Commission paper ("Reform of Housing Law: A Scoping Study Paper") which the Commission has also published today. Terms of reference
reflecting the ground covered by the Scoping Paper are: "To consider the law relating to the existing forms of housing tenancies in
the rented sector and their creation, terms and termination, with a view to its simplification and reform; and in particular to
review the law on:
(1) the forms of housing tenancy let by: (a) local authorities and other social landlords; (b) private landlords, with a view to
providing a simple and flexible statutory regime for both the social and the private housing sectors;
(2) the remedies available in respect of harassment and unlawful eviction;
(3) tenants' statutory rights of succession; and
(4) such other aspects of housing law as may be agreed between the Law Commission, the Department of the Environment, Transport and
the Regions, and the Lord Chancellor's Department."
Today's referral asks the Law Commission to undertake work on the ground covered by item (1) of the terms of reference and which the
Commission's Scoping Paper refers to as the "first phase" of work. This in itself represents a substantial piece of work on which
the Commission has undertaken to deliver a report and draft Housing Bill by July 2003. A further referral covering items (2) and (3)
of the terms of reference (referred to in the Scoping Paper as the "second phase" of work) will be considered in the light of
progress on first phase work.
The Law Commission's scoping paper represents an excellent piece of work. It highlights a long overdue need for a simpler, less
complex framework for housing tenure law--one that will be more transparent and better understood by landlords and tenants alike;
one that will enable social landlords to make better use of their stock; and one that will facilitate greater choice and diversity
in the housing sector along with tenant participation.
We also intend to look to the review as the sensible vehicle within which to take forward our intention, announced in the Housing
Policy Statement ("Quality and Choice: A decent home for all--The Way forward for Housing") to look at a single form of tenure for
the social housing sector and other tenure flexibilities. The Law Commission's continued readiness to work with DETR and other key
housing interests, and to involve a wider range of landlord and tenant interests in taking forward this substantial piece of work
will ensure an inclusive approach.
I am arranging for a copy of the Law Commission's Scoping Paper to be placed in the Library of the House.

Mr. Kidney: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what assessment he has made of the future viability of local
authorities' tenanted farms. [146801]
Ms Quin: Local authorities' tenanted farms are important in providing a first rung on the farming ladder. Day-to-day management of
these estates is the responsibility of individual smallholdings authorities. I welcome the initiative shown by authorities which
pursue active and imaginative policies to maintain their estates' viability.
