Clause 70.—(LEVY ON ACQUISITIONS BY COMMISSION.) (Hansard, 27 October 1966)

§ Mr. Allason

I beg to move Amendment No. 93, in page 70, line 16, to leave out from 'Act' to the end of line 28 and to insert: (3) The provisions of Schedule (Assessment of levy on acquisition by Commission) to this Act shall have effect in relation to any such disposition as is mentioned in the last preceding subsection. (4) Where a notice of assessment of levy served in respect of the compulsory acquisition of an interest in land by the Commission has resulted in an operative assessment of levy. I am in some difficulty here because this Amendment and the next two Amendments, Amendment No. 94, in page 70, line 39, to leave out from 'Where' to end of line 41 and insert 'a notice of assessment of levy served in respect of the acquisition by the Commission of an interest in land by agreement has resulted in an operative assessment of levy'; and Amendment No. 95, in page 71, line 6, at the end to insert: (6) If one or more further notices of assessment of levy in respect of the acquisition are served under section 55 of this Act (including that section as applied by Schedule (Assessment of levy on acquisition by Commission) to this Act), or if relief (whether by way of repayment or otherwise) is given or required to be given in respect of the levy in question, any reference in subsection (4)(b) or subsection (5)(b) of this section to the principal amount of the levy in accordance with the assessment shall be construed as a reference to the total principal amount of levy payable in respect of the acquisition as agreed or determined under this Part of this Act. are all what the Minister would call paving Amendments for a new Schedule.

I take it to be the wish of the House, therefore, that these should be moved formally and that discussion should take place on the new Schedule. I am quite prepared to discuss the new Schedule 1401 now, but, as we have a precedent, we must, presumably, stick to it.
