§ Mr. E. Rowlandsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will introduce legislation to remove the obligation placed upon householders whose homes are in the direct line of an adopted road to advertise the sale of their blighted properties before being able to serve a purchase notice.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonNo. It is a fundamental principle in these cases that a blight notice should not be served until the owner has tried and failed to sell on the open market.
