HC Deb 22 November 1954 vol 533 cc986-7

In page 44, line 3, leave out from "land" to "had" and insert: in which the interest acquired or sold subsisted".

Lords Amendment: In page 44, line 10, leave out from beginning to "for" in line 15 and insert: unless immediately after the acquisition or sale there is outstanding some interest (other than an excepted interest) in that land to which some person other than the acquiring authority is entitled,".

Commander Galbraith

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

It might be convenient if we took the Amendment with the Amendment in page 44, line 20, and the Amendment in page 44, line 32.

All these Amendments are consequential on changes made in Clause 23 and the introduction of the new Schedule.

Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to: In page 44, line 20, leave out from beginning to "and" in line 29 and insert: (ii) if immediately after the acquisition or sale there is outstanding any such interest as aforesaid, then for the purposes of any other Part of this Act there shall be deducted from the said original balance an amount equal to any part of the relevant balance which is not, or which in the appropriate circumstances would not have been, attributable for the purposes of the said section thirty-three to any such outstanding interest. In line 32, at end insert: Provided that in the event of a subsequent compulsory acquisition of any such outstanding interest, being a compulsory acquisition to which this Part of this Act applies, the said section thirty-three shall have effect for the purposes of assessing the compensation payable as if this subsection had not been enacted.
