Earl of DALKEITHasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has considered the representations which have been made to him regarding the desirability of providing that agreements under Clause 33 of the Town and Country Planning Bill should be recorded in the Registers of Sasines; and whether he is prepared to introduce an Amendment to make it clear that such agreements will not be binding on singular successors unless they have been so recorded?
§ Sir A. SINCLAIRI have considered the representations made to me on this matter, and have decided to introduce an Amendment on the Sixth Schedule of the Town and Country Planning Bill which will make it clear that, in Scotland, agreements made under Clause 33 of the Bill will be binding on singular successors from the date of recording in the appropriate Register of Sasines, and not otherwise.
