§ 27. Mr. GROTRIANasked the Minister of Health if his attention has been called to the recent decision in the case of Northwood and another v. the London County Council; and whether he intends to take any steps to mitigate the hardship caused to persons whose lands and premises are acquired compulsorily under Section 46 of the Housing, Town Planning, etc., Act, 1925, under such circumstances as those in the above decision of the High Court?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINMy attention has been called to this case. The question of legislation to amend in some respects Section 46 of the Act of 1925 has been receiving my attention, but I am unable to make a statement in regard to the matter at the present time.
