§ 90. Mr. Pooleasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will make a statement in relation to development charges which have been assessed since his announcement of the proposed amending legislation and which are at present unpaid.
§ Mr. MarplesThe Bill introduced last Tuesday proposes to free from development charge all development commenced on or after 18th November. The Secretary of State for Scotland and my right hon. Friend have asked the Central Land Board to suspend the collection of development charge in these cases pending the passing of the Bill. It is only in cases not affected by the Bill—where development commenced before the date mentioned—that development charge is still being assessed.
