§ 7. Mr. Digbyasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that local authorities are not in every case serving formal notice of entry on the owner of land which has been compulsorily acquired as they are required to do by statute; and what steps he is taking to remind local authorities of their obligations in this connection.
§ Mr. BevanI am aware of one case, on which I have had correspondence with the hon. Member, where a requisite notice of entry was overlooked, but I have no reason to think that such oversights are frequent or that local authorities need reminding of their obligations in this respect.
