HC Deb 14 July 1964 vol 698 cc189-90W
13. Mr. Hale

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether he is satisfied that the existing statutory provisions relating to compensation for site values for slum clearance are understood by local authorities and enable them accurately to estimate costs involved; and if he will make a statement.

Sir K. Joseph

I have no reason to believe that local authorities have difficulty in making adequate estimates of the cost of acquisition.
