    REFERENCES AND ABBREVIATIONS This book is written primarily for inclusion in the Annotated Legislation Service, and references are given in the usual way to other Volumes in the Service and, where appropriate, to other works such as the English and Empire Digest and Halsbury’s Statutes of England. A number of additional abbreviations and references have been adopted in the present Volume to simplify the process of cross reference to earlier statutes, statutory instruments and other relevant matters. Virtually the whole of the previous law and practice (up to the year 1953) is set out, together with the Ministry’s circulars and other official explanatory matter, in Hill’s Complete Law of Town and Country Planning (4th Edn.) (1949) and the Second Supplement (1953) to that work; detailed cross references to Hill are therefore given throughout the present work. To facilitate reference to the Parliamentary debates on the Bill for the present Act, a note headed ‘‘ The Bill and Hansard ”’ is printed, post. THE ENGLISH AND EMPIRE DIGEST References to cases included in the original main volumes of the English and Empire Digest are given thus:— Thew v. South West Africa Co., Lid., (1924), 9 Tax Cas. 141; 28 Digest 23, 122. In the case of a main replacement volume the reference is given thus:— Outram v. Hyde (1875), 24 W.R. 268; 27 Digest (Repl.) 132, 956. References to cases which appear in the Digest Supplements (first, second or third) are given thus:— Mills v. Bryce, [1951] 1 All E.R. 111; 2nd Digest Supp. THE ALL ENGLAND LAW REPORTS The citations of the reports of cases decided since the beginning of 1936 include a reference to the All England Law Reports, thus :— Whyte v. Clancy, [1936] 2 All E.R. 735. HALSBURY’S STATUTES OF ENGLAND References to Public General Statutes (other than to Acts or sections printed in this volume) contained in the second edition of Halsbury’s Statutes of England are followed by a reference to the volume and page in that edition where the Act or section will be found, thus:— Criminal Appeal Act, 1907, s. 6 (5 Halsbury’s Statutes (znd Edn.) 931). HALSBURY’S LAWS OF ENGLAND The first figure in references to Halsbury’s Laws of England indicates the volume, and the last figure indicates the page number. The edition referred to—Second (Hailsham) or Third (Simonds)—is indicated in parentheses. ANNOTATED LEGISLATION SERVICE References to the Statutes Volume of Butterworths Annotated Legislation Service are given thus:— Statutes Vol., p. 250. References to previous Statutes Supplements are given thus:— 5 Statutes Supp. 63. Some subscribers to the service do not possess Statutes Supp. 75, containing the Income Dax Act, 1952; they are informed that the pagination in Vol. 31 of Halsbury’s Statutes (2nd Edn.) is identical and reference should be made to that Volume in lieu of Statutes Supp. 75. PARLIAMENTARY OFFICIAL REPORTS (HANSARD) House of Lords and House of Commons Official Reports are referred to by reference to the volume followed by the number of the column. References are to column numbers of the daily issues; the weekly issue normally agrees with the daily issue but the bound volumes do not necessarily so agree. Thus:— 121 H. of L. Official Report 1200. 376 H. of C. Official Report 1600. House of Commons Standing Committee Official Reports are referred to by reference to Standing Committee, A, B, or C, etc., followed by the date and the number of the column, thus:— H. of C. Official Report, S.C.B., 6th December 1945, col. 12. See also the note ‘‘ The Bill and Hansard ’’, post. STATUTORY INSTRUMENTS References to statutory instruments are given by the official citation followed, in parentheses, by the year and number of the instrument. In some cases where the title of an instrument begins with the words Town and Country Planning these words have been omitted or abbreviated to 1..& C.P. The correct citation may, in such cases, be ascertained by reference to Hill or to Halsbury’s Statutory Instruments, Vol. 21. lv
