HL Deb 28 July 1930 vol 78 cc943-4

PART I.

Modifications to be made in subsection (1) of Section forty-six of the principal Act for the purposes of its application to the assessment of compensation under this Act in the case of lands comprised in a clearance area.

Subsections (1) of Section forty-six of the principal Act shall be modified in the following manner:—

For the words from the beginning of the subsection to "dangerous or prejudicial to health," there shall be substituted the words "Where land comprised in a clearance area."

The proviso to the subsection shall be omitted.

LORD PARMOOR moved, in Part I, to leave out "The proviso to this subsection shall be omitted" and to insert:— In the proviso, for the words from 'if in the opinion of the Minister' to 'laid out as an open space' there shall be substituted the words 'if under the provisions of the compulsory purchase order as confirmed by the Minister any land comprised in the clearance area is to be appropriated for the rehousing of persons of the working classes.' For the words any land included in the scheme (other than as aforesaid),' there shall be substituted the words 'such of the land purchased compulsorily as is comprised in the clearance area.' In sub-paragraph (a) for the words in eluded in the scheme,' there shall be substituted the words comprised in the clearance area.' In sub-paragraph (b) for the words 'the requirements of the scheme' there shall be substituted the words 'the requirements of the compulsory purchase order' and the words 'or the laying out of open spaces' shall be omitted.

The noble and learned Lord said: My Lords, I do not understand how this was omitted from the Schedule. What was intended to be omitted was reduction arising from land being used for an open space. Therefore this Third Schedule has to be inserted with the Amendment I propose.

Amendment moved— Page 59, line 13, leave out ("The proviso to the subsection shall be omitted") and insert the said new words.—(Lord Parmoor.)

On Question, Amendment agreed to.

Fourth Schedule [Minor and consequential Amendments of the principal Act]:

LORD PARMOOR

My Lords, I beg to move a drafting Amendment to this Schedule.

Amendment moved— Page 60, line 6, leave out the Fourth Schedule in order to reinsert it after the Fifth Schedule.—(Lord Parmoor.)

On Question, Amendment agreed to.

Bill passed, and returned to the Commons.
