The Solicitor-General

I beg to move, in page 64, line 9, at end, insert: and by any further amount which appears to the tribunal to be appropriate having regard to any increase in the capital value of immovable property belonging to the person carrying on the statutory undertaking in question which is directly attributable to any such adjustment as aforesaid, allowance being made for any reduction made under head (b) of this sub-paragraph. This is an Amendment which, though not strictly a drafting Amendment, does meet a point which was raised by the hon. Member for Peckham (Mr. Silkin) on the Committee stage. The proposals which he made have been followed, and these Amendments are the result of the re-examination of the problem, and the method suggested.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 64, line 16, at end, insert: (4) In this paragraph the expression 'proceeding giving rise to compensation' means the particular action (that is to say, purchase, extinguishment of a right, imposition of a requirement, refusal of permission, grant of permission subject to conditions, or revocation or modification of permission) in respect of which compensation falls to be assessed, as distinct from any development or project in connection with which the action in question may have been taken."—[The Solicitor-General.] Consequential Amendments made.
