HC Deb 08 April 1952 vol 498 c201W
63. Sir H. Roper

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in his review of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, he will consider including in the classes of claimants under Part VI of the Act who will be given special treatment, owners of land taken over by a local authority for housing when development value has been paid within 12 months of the purchase by the local authority.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I regret that I cannot consider giving special treatment to further classes of claimants under Part VI of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, while the review of the financial provisions of the Act is in progress. In this review, the position of all owners of land compulsorily acquired is being borne in mind.
