HC Deb 07 July 1947 vol 439 cc1893-4

Amendment made: In page 5, line 38, leave out "a reference," and insert"references."—[Mr. Buchanan.]

Mr. Buchanan

I beg to move, in page 5, line 46, at the end, to insert: (5) Any proposal submitted to the Secretary of State under this section for any alteration or addition to a development plan and any amendment made by the Secretary of State under this section to a development plan may provide for securing that any land previously designated by the plan as subject to compulsory acquisition shall cease to be so designated, or that any land not previously so designated shall be so designated. This Amendment also represents an endeavour to meet a criticism made in the Standing Committee. The Opposition said we should provide specifically that proposals for any alteration or addition to a plan might include proposals for removing designation of land. This Amendment is intended to meet that point.

Amendment agreed to.
