HC Deb 11 January 1978 vol 941 c763W
Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make a statement on the operation of Part IV of the Community Land Act 1975 to date, which deals with the compulsory purchase of empty office blocks by his Department.

Mr. Freeson

The power to acquire large new office blocks compulsorily at a restricted level of compensation has not so far been exercised.
