HC Deb 16 February 1960 vol 617 c106W
61. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs why, when confirming the recent clearance order with respect to the demolition of a Georgian house in Bristol on which the owner has spent more than £500 during the past 12 months, he did not direct the local authority concerned to compensate the owner on a well-maintained basis.

Mr. H. Brooke

I think the hon. Member must be referring to No. 50, Horfield Road. If that is so, he is under a misapprehension, for when a clearance order including this property was recently confirmed the Bristol Corporation were directed to make a well-maintained payment in respect of it.
