§ Mr. WillinkThe Housing Act (Form of Orders and Notices) Amendment Regulations, 1944, amend the prescribed Form of Notice to owners, lessees and occupiers of the making of a Compulsory Purchase Order for the purposes of Part V of the Housing Act, 1936. The amendment was necessary in order to make the terms of the Notice an accurate statement of the law as amended by the Housing (Temporary Provisions) Act. This Act, which was passed on the 3rd August, 1944, enables me to confirm such an Order if submitted to me within two years of the passing of the Act without causing a public local inquiry to be held.
