Mr. Deputy SpeakerThe next Amendment is No. 94, with which we may discuss Amendment No. 93, in page 31, line 32, leave out 'is' and insert 'has been'.
No. 95, in page 31, line 33, at end insert:
'except when action has been taken upon that purchase notice of such a nature that compensation is not payable under the aforementioned sections'.
§ Mr. SkeffingtonI beg to move Amendment No. 94, in page 31, line 33, at end insert:
'being a purchase notice which takes effect'.It was pointed out in Committee that the Clause is defective. The intention of subsection (4) is to exclude compensation under the Clause, for the refusal of consent to alterations, when compensation is also payable as a result of a purchase notice. However, as drafted, the subsection would exclude compensation under the Clause whenever a purchase notice is served, regardless of whether or not it takes effect. The Amendment restricts the operation of the subsection to the case originally intended.
§ Mr. Graham PageWe are grateful to the Parliamentary Secretary for the Amendment, and gratified that we can assist in making the Bill intelligible.
§ Amendment agreed to.
