HC Deb 22 November 1954 vol 533 cc971-2

Lords Amendment: In line 21, after "apply" insert "(a)."

Commander Galbraith

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

It may be convenient to take this Amendment and the Amendment in line 27 together. The first part of this Amendment is purely formal. It is to provide that the Clause shall not apply where the compensation on the basis of existing use includes the full value of the permission to develop in pursuance of which the works were carried out because those works are completed or substantially completed.

The second part deals with cases where the development of part of the land had been completed and the development of the remainder had not. Its practical effect is that the operation of the Clause is confined to so much of the development as has not been completed.

Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to: In line 27, at end insert: or

and where, if the notice to treat had extended to a part only of the relevant land, the amount of the compensation on the basis of existing use payable in respect of the relevant interest in so far as it subsisted in that part would have been the same whether or not the said subsection (4) operated, this section shall have effect as respects the acquisition of the relevant interest as if the notice to treat had extended only to the remainder of the relevant land.

In line 32, leave out from "constructed" to end of line 34 and insert there shall be added to the compensation payable in respect of the acquisition of the relevant interest apart from the provisions of this section.
