HC Deb 20 May 1952 vol 501 c35W
Mr. Irving

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is now in a position to state what is the Government's policy in relation to the imposition of development charges upon land developers.

Mr. H. Macmillan

I hope that the Government will be able to state their intentions before long.

Mr. F. M. Bennett

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if, in view of the declared intention of the Government to amend the Town and Country Planning Act, particularly as concerns the imposition of development charges, he will give an assurance that, in cases of property changing hands at existing use value before the amendment of the Act, where claims against the central fund have been agreed, such claims will be honoured.

Mr. H. Macmillan

I hope that the Government will be able to state their intentions before long.
