§ Mr. Robert Cookeasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what is the total staff of the Land Commission now situated in Bristol; and what will be the total staff by April, 1970.
§ Mr. WilleyThe total number of staff is 115 now and between 20 and 30 staff may be added by 1970.
§ Mr. Robert Cookeasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what is the total annual cost of the salaries of those staff of the Land Commission now based in Bristol.
§ Mr. Willey£141,000, including Selective Employment Tax and employer's National Insurance contributions.
§ Mr. Moyleasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether the Land Commission will inform vendors and others who might be liable for levy in all cases where no liability to levy arises.
§ Mr. WilleyNo. I have repeatedly said that in the ordinary case, if people do not hear within a few months, they can assume that there is no liability to levy.
Advice on particular cases can however be sought from the appropriate office of the Land Commission who will inform the applicant whether on the facts before them levy appears to be payable.
