2.9   Deputy K.C. Lewis of St. Saviour the Chief Minister regarding an update of the inheritance laws

Does the Minister have any plans to update the inheritance laws and if not, why not?

Senator F.H. Walker (The Chief Minister):

Yes, Sir. At its last meeting on 20th May of this year the Legislation Advisory Panel noted that the Law Draftsman had indicated that further law drafting instructions had recently been received on this topic from the Law Officers' Department and that it was expected the draft legislation would be available shortly. It was agreed that this would be distributed to the Legislation Advisory Panel members in advance of their next meeting which is scheduled for 29th July.
