Lieut.-Colonel A. MURRAYasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give, in brief out-line, the salient features of the Italian laws relating to the compulsory acquisition by the State and public authorities of land required for public purposes?
Mr. HARMSWORTHThe Italian law of 2nd April, 1866,governing the expropriation of property for public purposes consists of 101 articles, and I regret that I am unable to summarise its provisions within the limits of a reply to a Parliamentary question. I shall be happy to show my hon. and gallant Friend a copy, of the law if he will call at the Foreign Office.
