Part of Orders of the Day — CROWN PROCEEDINGS BILL [Lords] – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 25 July 1947.
This new Clause is intended to go into the Scottish application part of the Bill. The rules of limitation in England are separately dealt with and this provision will apply merely to Scotland. Its only effect will be that, so far as Crown proceedings are concerned, the period will be a year, whereas at present it is six months in Scotland.
