HC Deb 16 June 1958 vol 589 c776

8.0 p.m.

Mr. Maudling

I beg to move, in page 41, line 16, to insert: or under section (Record of condition of land) of this Act". Though this is a small Amendment it has a substantial effect. It provides that disputes about payment by the Board for professional fees incurred by a person having a direct concern in the record of conditions shall be referred to the Lands Tribunal.

Amendment agreed to.

Mr. Maudling

I beg to move, in page 41, line 18, at the end to insert: or (c) as to the amount of the quarterly payments payable in accordance with subsection (2) of section thirty-three of this Act in respect of any such compensation as is mentioned in that subsection". This Amendment, again, is tabled in fulfilment of an undertaking given in Standing Committee. In this case, the undertaking was to amend the Bill so as to make it quite clear that disputes about the reasonableness of the quarterly advance payment of annual compensation which the Board is required to make and under Clause 33 (2, a), can be referred to the Lands Tribunal.

Amendment agreed to.—
