§ Sir G. Sinclairasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much money has been paid out in compensation under the Land Compensation Act 1973 for injurious affection in respect of the 158W development of Gatwick Airport which has taken place in the past six years; and if he is satisfied with the way in which the Act is operating in the case of this airport.
§ Mr. Guy BarnettWithin the period in which claims for compensation in respect of the runway development could be lodged, which ended in June 1976, none was made. Two claims in respect of the new road system have at present been received.
I consider that the Act is operating as intended.
