Lords Amendments agreed to:

In page 15, line 14, leave out from "related" to "was" in line 15 and insert: or another interest in which that interest had merged.

In line 21, after "if" insert: the interest so affected, in this section referred to as.

Lords Amendment: In page 15, line 39, after "affected" insert: being damage in respect of which compensation fell, or if the sale had been a compulsory acquisition would have fallen, to be assessed in accordance with the provisions of Part IV of the principal Act (which provides for compensation on the basis of existing use value) as applied by subsection (4) of section one hundred and thirteen of that Act;

Commander Galbraith

I beg to move. "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

It might be convenient for the House to consider with this Amendment the related Amendments in page 15, line 43, and in page 16, leave out lines 13 to 35 in order to insert new paragraphs. This Amendment, and the other two I have mentioned are of a drafting character. Their object is to arrange the Clause on a logical basis.

Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to: In page 15, line 43, at end insert: being damage in respect of which compensation fell to be assessed in accordance with section two of the Compensation (Defence) Act, 1939, as modified by section ten of the Requisitioned Land and War Works Act, 1948 (which limits the compensation to an amount calculated on the basis of existing use value).

In page 16, leave out lines 13 to 35 and insert: (c) in the case of a compulsory acquisition falling within paragraph (c) of the last preceding subsection or in a case falling within paragraph (d) of that subsection, to the compensation paid or payable in respect of the damage referred to in that paragraph; (d) in the case of a sale falling within paragraph (c) of the last preceding subsection, to the sale price in so far as it represented compensation in respect of the damage referred to in that paragraph.

In line 38, leave out "relevant interest" and insert: Interest in land to which the claim holding related.

In page 17, line 10, leave out "subsections (4) to (6)" and insert "subsection (4)."
