HC Deb 23 July 1958 vol 592 cc34-5W
32. Mr. B. Harrison

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will compensate owners of property scheduled under Section 1 (2) of the Trunk Roads Act, 1946, for the loss of value to their property.

Mr. Watkinson

I regret that I can only make payment for land at the time when it is acquired. In present circumstances, I am only prepared to acquire land for works on trunk roads when it is actually needed.
