HC Deb 29 November 1955 vol 546 c184W
69 and 70. Brigadier Clarke

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government (1) if, in confirming slum clearance orders, he will direct local authorities to make payments as if for well-maintained houses in every case except where the house being compulsorily acquired is derelict;

(2) if he will amend the law so that market value will be paid for unfit houses compulsorily acquired under slum clearance schemes.

Mr. Sandys

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the statement I made on 21st November, 1955, on the Second Reading of the Housing Subsidies Bill.
