§ Mr. BuchananI beg to move, in page 123, line 37, to leave out from ?pay able," to "under," in line 38.
This Amendment and the subsequent Amendments in page 124, line 1, and page 124, line 30, deal with the same point, which is really to remedy a defect The effect of the drafting Amendment is that in certain circumstances an owner who came along and pulled down a building of his own volition would get less compensation than he would get if he had done so by the order of a local authority. These Amendments say that he shall get the same compensation as he would have got if the local authority had ordered him to do so. In other words, it lays down that a man should not be penalised for being ahead of the local authority and doing it.
