HL Deb 06 December 1971 vol 326 cc673-4WA
LORD RAGLAN

asked Her Majesty's Government:

  1. (1) How many "repairs notices" have been served under Section 51 of the Town and Country Planning Act 674 1968 and Section 115 of the Act of 1971.
  2. (2) How many compulsory purchase orders have been authorised under Sections 50 and 114 of the above Acts.

LORD SANDFORD

The answer to the first part of this Question is that the number is not known, because local authorities arc not required to inform Departments of service of these notices. My right honourable friend the Secretary of State for the Environment and my right honourable and learned friend the Secretary of State for Wales have not served any themselves. The answer to the second part of the Question is one. This answer relates to the provisions of the 1968 Act. The provisions of the 1971 Act which will replace them have not yet come into force.

House adjourned at a quarter past seven o'clock.
