HC Deb 13 June 1945 vol 411 c1666W
Mr. Molson

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport what steps are being taken by his Department to ensure that increments in land values in the vicinity of new roads accrue to the State and not to private landowners.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

My Noble Friend does not intend to lay before the present Parliament any proposals to deal with this matter, which will, no doubt, fall to be considered in the new Parliament in connection with the contemplated review of the law relating to compensation and betterment.
