HC Deb 22 November 1954 vol 533 c850

Lords Amendment: In page 37, line 27, after "compensation" insert: in so far as it is attributable to that land.

Mr. Deedes

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

This, again, is a drafting Amendment. The present wording is defective so far as concerns cases where the remission of compensation is confined to part of the area on which the original payment was made. In such circumstances, the compensation registered against land not affected by the remission should obviously remain recoverable; but, as the subsection stands, only the sum remitted would remain on the register. The Amendment clarifies the point.

Question put, and agreed to. (Special Entry.)
