HC Deb 14 May 1964 vol 695 c107W
65. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he is aware that owner-occupiers served with compulsory purchase orders are being offered sums in compensation far below the amount of mortgage outstanding and that the value of their houses to a sitting tenant is far above that placed upon the property by the city valuer; and if he will take steps to help such people.

Mr. Corfield

My right hon. Friend is not aware of any general problem, and there are various possible ways of meeting any occasional difficulties of this kind which may arise. If the hon. Member has particular cases in mind and will let me have the details. I will have enquiries made.
