HC Deb 14 December 1966 vol 738 cc103-4W
99. Mr. Astor

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources how many settlements of compensation have been made to tenant farmers who have been dispossessed by compulsory purchase order during the 12 months to the latest convenient date; and if he is satisfied that the terms of such settlements have adequately compensated for the disturbance occasioned.

Mr. Willey

Settlements of compensation to tenant farmers are not recorded separately by the central Government, and I cannot say what the number has been in any period. The terms of such settlements are governed by statute.
