§ 69. Mr. Onslowasked the Minsiter of Housing and Local Government whether he will seek to amend the Land Commission Act so as to provide redress for property owners who are unable to sell their houses in the open market because the Land Commission has indicated that it may, at some future date, seek to acquire these properties by compulsory purchase.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonNo. But where the Commission intend to acquire by compulsory purchase an area including occupied houses they will be prepared to consider buying such houses in advance of the making of the order if the owners wish to sell them.
